EBTH is proud to present this collection from the estate of James Newberry. This fine art photographer and professor may best be known for founding Chicago’s Columbia College Photography Department, however, this well curated sale demonstrates his keen eye for collecting beautiful items across all genres. While serving as a beloved professor at various institutions from 1965 to 1996, he strove to inspire young photographers to find their own unique vision. As a lifelong collector, he was continually delighted by the beautiful and the fantastic, be it in paintings, prints, the decorative arts or creations from other cultures, particularly those of the near and far east. Book collecting, especially illustrated books, was a passion since his childhood and throughout his life.
Peruse for consideration this thoughtfully garnered collection of first edition books, illustrated books, etchings, woodblock prints, wood engravings, pochoirs and more.
