Rare Books, Manuscripts, Maps & Photographs 

Sale number: 739&nbsp; Our 21 June&nbsp;Rare Books, Manuscripts, Maps &amp; Photographs&nbsp;sale began in Edinburgh before setting off on a tour around the world and back through time, with stops in the Antarctic with Shackleton and Scott, Mecca and Medina with Burton, and the Mediterranean as envisioned by a 17th-century maker of portolan charts. After a century-long layover in India, bidders relived Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamen before glimpsing the rarefied world of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson in a remarkable collection of effects belonging to their personal bodyguard David Storrier. Returning to Scotland we visit Ian Hamilton Finlay’s Little Sparta before celebrating the Scottish Enlightenment with works by Smith, Hume and their illustrious peers. Browse the collection below.&nbsp;
