ABSOLUTE TUESDAYS - RARE BOOKS (13 MAY 2025)

 StoryLTD is pleased to present its Rare Books Auction, an offering that celebrates the intellectual, artistic, and historical legacy of the Subcontinent—and beyond. This curated selection of 75 lots encompasses a wide range of topics, including travel literature, early photography, art history, colonial records, literary milestones, natural sciences, and global classics, spanning over two centuries of bibliophilic endeavour. There are numerous volumes that are signed copies, first or limited editions, lavishly illustrated, and handsomely bound collector's items.

The catalogue is thematically organised, providing a multifaceted perspective on India as seen through the eyes of explorers, reformers, poets, artists, and historians. The auction provides a unique opportunity for institutions, collectors, and connoisseurs to acquire works that have played a role in the development of Indian identity and scholarship, both in the colonial and postcolonial imagination.
