My fellow HGRG<\/a> committee member Natalie Cox is currently undertaking a research fellowship<\/a> at the Huntington Library<\/a> in California. Natalie was kind enough to call up the Huntington’s copies of\u00a0Travels in Europe, Asia, and Africa<\/em> to check for indicators of provenance. Both copies of the book contain what appear to be contemporary bookplates, although I will need to dig a little deeper to attribute them properly.<\/p>\n

\"Unidentified<\/a>

Unidentified Ex Libris. The Huntington Library, call number 355653.<\/p><\/div>\n

The bookplate in call number 355653 is listed in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s John Starr Stewart Ex Libris Collection<\/a>, but does not contain an attribution.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/a>

John Coore’s Ex Libris. The Huntington Library, call number 357106.<\/p><\/div>\n

Although the bookplate pasted into call number 357106 makes quite clear that the book belonged to one John Coore, it is not immediately apparent\u00a0which<\/em> John Coore this is. One possibility (assuming he was a contemporary owner of the book) is that he is the John Coore who built Ivy House in\u00a0Golders Hill, where Anna Pavlova<\/a> (the famous ballerina) later lived. Clearly more digging will have to be done to separate conjecture from likelihood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
