Jonathan Potter Limited has existed as a trading concern since 1974 when Jonathan, having been a teenage collector, decided to turn his enthusiasm and a little knowledge of old maps into a career.  Since then the business has developed to become one of the world’s best known and respected dealerships with a clientele of many thousands of collectors, decorators and occasional buyers as well as many of the world’s major institutions and libraries.

Valerie Jackson-Harris, trading as Quadrille, has been dealing in ephemera for over thirty five years and always has a wide range of printed and manuscript ephemera for sale. Her expertise has enabled museums, libraries and private collectors around the world to acquire rare and difficult to find items to complement their collections.

She is Chairman of the Ephemera Society, a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association and custodian of the Peter Jackson Collection. In 2003, with the late Peter Jackson, she jointly received the Maurice Rickard Medal awarded by the Ephemera Society of America.
