Biographical Note about Henry and Alfred Henry Huth

Henry Huth (1815-1878) was an English merchant banker and a prominent bibliophile. He purchased items at nearly all the important sales throughout the latter half of the 19th century and and made the rounds of London bookdealers up until the day of his death. He was a memeber of the Philobiblion Society and the Roxburghe Club and published several works based on his own collection. Upon his death in 1878 his library passed to his second son Albert Henry Huth (1850-1910). The younger Huth was an author and prominent bilbiophile in his own right and continued to care for his and his father's collections. After his death in 1910 the library was sold off.

Biographical Note about Sir John Fenn

Sir John Fenn (1739-1794) was an English antiquary. He assisted in cataloging the manuscript collection of his friend and fellow antiquary, Thomas Martin of Palgrave, after the latter's death. He is best known for his edition of The Paston Letters.

Additional catalog records

38 of these items have also been individually cataloged and can be retrieved by doing a title search for "Collection of early printing fragments originally from the Huth library" in the Huntington Online Catalog.  

Scope and Content

This collection contains early printing fragments. The majority are leaves from early English books printed in London from 1492 to 1575, including items by Richard Pynson and Wynkyn de Worde. Printing from Edinburgh, the Netherlands, and Mallorca is also included, as well as two groups of 17th-century title pages (RB 131401:49) and miscellaneous frontispieces and engravings (RB 131401:50a). Originally bound in a folio scrapbook with Huth ex-libris, bound by Riviere in 3/4 red morocco with marbled endpapers, with some fragments laid in. In the late 1920s this was disbound and housed in boxes. The Huth library bookplate was preserved and housed in Box 1; whereabouts of the earlier binding is unknown.

Separated material

Item no. 19, the Jesus Psalter. At Doway for Iohn Heighman, Anno 1618, was removed and sold separately. See Huth sales catalog, Part VI, lot 6035 (sale July 1917). This has been cataloged separately as RB 61832  

Arrangement

The collection is arranged in rough chronological order and appears to reflect the original order as received from the Huth library. See Henry Huth. Catalogue of the famous library ... collected by Henry Huth, 1913, Part III, lot 3025.
