Wide CEECH COLLECTION 
 
 This collection of books illustrated by John Leech and of ~ 
 original drawings by him—the largest and finest private col- 
 lection in the world—is the result of many years of intelligent, 
 _ enthusiastic, and patient investigation and accumulation by 
 Mr. Stanley Kidder Wilson of Philadelphia, now universally 
 recognized as the highest authority on the life and work of 
 this famous English artist. The sale of the collection will 
 afford a wonderful opportunity for American buyers to enrich 
 their collections. 
 
 The works of John Leech were exhibited at the Grolier Club 
 in this city from J anuary 22 to March 8, 1914. A very large 
 proportion of the 300 lots in the catalogue were loaned from 
 Mr. Wilson’s Collection, and because of his familiarity with 
 the work of the artist he was invited to write the Introduction 
 to the Catalogue. 
 
 Mr. Wilson drew attention to the fact that Thackeray had 
 called Leech his ‘‘best friend,’’ and that Leech’s work in 
 Punch for twenty-three years had so placed him in the affec- 
 tions of his countrymen that when his death occurred in 1864 
 
 the grief of the people was deep and universal. Mr. Wilson 
 referred to the adulatory comments of Thackeray, Dickens, 
 and Ruskin on the work of Leech and expressed his own 
 opinion that the popularity of Leech was due to the fact that 
 he was not only a great artist but a lovable man, whose pencil 
 was ever the friend of the misfortunes of mankind. ‘‘Incom- 
 parable criticism of every-day life was his achievement. His 
 was one of the gifts of the century, and he himself one of the 
 gifts to it. Not soon will the world have forgotten this in- 
 - eratiating fellow of the friendly pencil, John Leech.’’ 
 
 Books illustrated by Leech and books bearing on his life 
 and work fill the first half of this Catalogue. Among these 
 are the following highly desirable items: The scarce First 
 Editions of each series of the Ingoldsby Legends with an Auto- 
 graph Letter Signed by the author; Bentley’s Miscellany, the

 tures made by Leech for an exhibition of his work at ‘‘The 
 Auction Mart Gallery,’’? in 1862. In his introduction to the 
 book or reproductions issued in connection with the exhibition, 
 Leech writes: 
 
 ‘‘The invention of a new process for producing enlarged 
 transcripts of drawings and engravings suggested to me that, 
 by combining that process with the use of oil colours, I might 
 produce on canvas repetitions of my engraved and published 
 
 if, drawings, capable of preservation for as long a time as any 
 0) pictures. ... As I have used the word ‘repetitions,’ I desire to 
 q add here, that it is not my intention to copy or reproduce any 
 fp . subject that I once sketch in oil. Whosoever may do me the 
 honour to place one of these little works in a collection, will 
 possess what is so far a speciality that it will never exist in 
 
 duplicate. ’’

 it. I would entreat him to mark that wicked, graceless, bald- 
 ae set pated old head, with its port wine nose resting on the rim of 
 ? the bucket, and its wicked old eye suggestively wink unutter- 
 af able things at the perplexed and astounded maiden. I would 
 \\V ask him to look at that drawing; to take into account the 
 y/ : health of the genial, failing artist who designed it;. and to 
 ; tell me, whether in all the range of English comic art he re- 
 members to have met with anything more intensely comical?’’
