Description

Autograph LettersThe October seminar in the new book-collecting series organised jointly by the Institute of English Studies (London University) and the ABA Educational Trust will be given by Julian Browning of Julian Browning Autographs (www.historicalautographs.co.uk), a member of of the Professional Autograph Dealers Association (PADA – www.padaweb.org).

An accomplished and entertaining speaker, with over thirty years experience in the antiquarian book and manuscript trade, Julian specializes in the sale of autograph letters, historical documents and manuscripts dating from about 1450 to 1950, with a particular focus on British and European history and literature. He rescues interesting letters by obscure and less well known names, as well as more significant letters and documents written or signed by famous historical figures.
