[Marcel Jeanson (1885-1942) was a very major French collector. He had
acquired in the 1930s the complete library of another great collector Henri
Gallice of Epernay, who had in turn acquired large portions of other
important collections, including that of the Duke of Hamilton. Several
important MSS. are described.]

catalogue of books, manuscripts, prints and drawings, " Volumes I-III,
1928, Volume IV, 1937, Waterlow and Sons, London, red leather 50 copies,
green leather 300 copies; reprinted Georg Olm Verlag, Hildesheim, Zurich,
New York, 1985.
[Richard Schwerdt (3/12/1862-1/2/1939) and his wife Mathilde (1869-?)
nee Brentano for 50 years formed and catalogued their extraordinary
collection. They were mere collectors, and evidently did not read
their books. The collection was auctioned after Schwerdt's death
most disadvantageously in four auctions at Sotheby's in 1939, and in
two more in March and July of 1946. Because of the Depression and the
War, the market was depressed, and the Schwerdts' books were sold for
far less than they had paid for them. The principal rarities have
been acquired by libraries and universities, and few of these are
ever likely to be seen on the market again.]
