EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of John E. Bumpus Ltd, esteemed booksellers of Oxford Street, London, as depicted in this photograph from circa 1914. The interior of the store exudes an air of sophistication and scholarly pursuit, with tall bookshelves lining the walls, filled to the brim with an extensive collection of volumes. The warm, inviting atmosphere is further enhanced by the soft glow of the antique lamps and the elegant wooden flooring. This photograph holds a special allure as it also marks the occasion of the public viewing of the renowned library of Sir Richard Wallace at the premises of John E. Bumpus Ltd. Sir Richard Wallace, a celebrated philanthropist and art collector, was known for his vast and impressive collection of books, which was a testament to his intellectual curiosity and passion for knowledge. The August issue of a magazine, volume 350, from 1914, bears witness to this unique event, as seen in the unattributed colour image. The promotion of the library's exhibition at John E. Bumpus Ltd provided an unparalleled opportunity for bibliophiles and scholars to explore the treasured collection, adding another layer of intrigue to the already captivating atmosphere of the esteemed booksellers.
