3 vols., 4to, coloured frontispieces, 132 plates of bindings (of which 34 are in colour), orig. printed wrappers, 2,493 lots. "Although he had purchased a number of important books in the first few years of the century, the Robert Hoe III sale in 1911 launched Schiff's collecting career. The bindings of Padeloup, Derôme, and Le Monnier and the tasteful illustrations of Boucher, Moreau le Jeune, Cochin, Eisen and Gravelot all appealed to his love of the sumptuous. In 1920, A.S.W. Rosenbach sold Schiff a number of distinguished French illustrated books from the Robert Schuhmann library, including Graffigny's 'Lettres d'une Péruvienne' with Lefèvre drawings and 'L'Eloge de la Folie' with seventeen original sketches by Eisen. Three years after Schiff's death, Seymour De Ricci produced an elaborate catalog of the signed bindings in the library. Three years after the publication of the catalog, the heirs disposed of the library in a disastrous auction in London. The only beneficiaries were collectors like Lessing J. Rosenwald. Schiff is remembered as a connoisseur who brought together an unrivalled collection of decorative bindings and illustrated books"Dickinson, Dictionary of American Book Collectors, pp. 281-282.).…

First edition, together 4 vols., large 4to (289 x 270 mm), with over 300 reproductions of bindings, orig. publishers blue buckram, extremities lightly rubbed, uncut. Of French 18th and 19th century signed bindings the Schiff collection was remarkably fine and certainly the most comprehensive brought together by a single collector. In this catalogue, beginning with Monnier and Padeloup and ending with Trautz-Bauzonnet, each binding is given a highly detailed description so as to register clearly the idiosyncrasies of each binder, and every binding of any importance is reproduced in a full-size photograph (except for a dozen very large volumes). In many cases the doublures and inner dentelles are also reproduced and all binders' stamps and tickets are given in facsimile. The British and miscellaneous section is treated in the same meticulous manner, British bookbinding being represented chiefly by binders of the 18th and early 19th centuries.…
