In den WarenkorbZustand: Good. Good. - Material from the library of the psychiatrist and skating bibliographer Dr. Arthur N. Foxe consisting of mechanically reproduced pages from several skating bibliographies which likely served as source material for his books. The first consists of 28 pages, printed on one side, containing Fred W. Foster's "…The Bibliography of Skating" as published over several issues of "The Bibliographer: A Journal of Book Lovers" from March 1883 through April 1884. The 9-1/2 inch high by 7-3/8 inch wide sheets are bound together with a metal claps through 2 holes punched at the bottom of the sheets. These pages are contained within stiffer cream sheets with the content typed by Dr. Foxe on the cover sheet and his "Skating Library" stamp affixed at the bottom. The second bibliography titled "English Books on Skating after 1900" is compiled by Dr. Foxe himself. These consist of an original page typed on an 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide sheet of paper with 3 identical mechanically reproduced copies listing 20 books on skating. Dr. Foxe has made pencil & ink corrections to the original (which are then reproduced on the copies) including scratching out 4 of the titles. The corners of these pages are creased and there are rust stains from a paper clip at top left. A 27-page bibliography compiled by the famous figure skater and skating analyst Dick Button is mechanically reproduced on 27 sheets of 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide paper. This bibliography lists books from the 18th through the 20th century by country. Included are works from Great Britain, Germany, France, Austria, the Netherlands, the U.S.A., Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland. The pages are annotated in ink by Dr. Foxe, identifying which of the books he has in his own library or has on file. Stapled at top left, the last 2 pages are detached but present. The bibliography is titled in ink by Dr. Foxe at the top of the first page. The pages are soiled and the bottom corner of the first page is creased. Wonderful unique material. From the Skating Library of Arthur N. Foxe, with his stamp and annotations. A psychiatrist and criminologist, Dr. Foxe was an avid collector of skating books and published "Skating for Everyone", as well as a brief bibliography of skating and a little book about Poe and hypnosis.
