Featuring several notable collections, including: costume and theatre set designs by Oliver Messel; a trove of early Folio Society publications and limited editions; an archive of detective publications featuring the famous Sexton Blake. An individual gem is the 1828 edition of "The Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century" by Jane Webb (later Jane Loudon). Considered an early feminist novel, her story takes place in a futuristic world of advanced technology and has the distinction of being the first in the English language to feature a reanimated mummy. The sale also features the classic historical nursing text: Florence Nightingale’s ‘Notes on Nursing: What it is, and What is not’. A first edition published in 1860, the work intended to give hints on nursing to those entrusted with the health of others. Last but not least, a manuscript map of Bermondsey drawn by James Atkinson in 1696. Atkinson had his shop at Cherry Garden Stairs in Rotherhithe.
