2018 June US Open Memorabilia Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/17/2018
1893 'The Badminton Library' Book by Horace G. Hutchinson - John Roth Collection
The Duke of Beaufort, Henry Somerset, initiated The Badminton Library project and dedicated it to the Prince of Wales in the 1880's and 1890's. Offered here is the golf edition by Horace G. Hutchinson. This acted as an encyclopedia for golf, including records and rules. The cover shows wear to all edges, though the text is still bold. The pages show some foxing and handwriting from a previous owner on the title page. Overall good addition to any library.
