RE: Help required: Kingsford's Song of Songs (Ashendene)



I'm fairly certain that I know the private collectors who acquired the
Pirages copy.  I'll contact them and get back to you shortly.

There were copies in the last decade at Pirages and Zilverdistel, and I
recall the Wormsley Library has one, in addition to ours.  I'm looking
for the census compiled here years ago.

Kate Cockerell, nee Florence Kingsford, hand decorated 40 copies of the
Song of Songs printed by C.H. St. John Hornby at the Ashendene Press
1902. A descendant is trying to track down as many copies as possible,
to build up a catalogue for the family archives. Any 
information that can be provided re the location of these books, or any
suggestions for locating them, would be much appreciated. We at the
Fitzwilliam Museum have one copy and are aware of the 11 copies listed
on WorldCat.

Please reply either to the list or directly to nrr21@cus.cam.ac.uk
