[Per Michael Salmon, The Aurelian Legacy (2000)] The sale room was that of Henry Stevens (1843-1925), at 38 King Street, St James's, London: "Henry took out his first auctioneer's licence in 1863, and under his ownership Stevens remained the major British clearing house for natural history collections for the rest of the century and beyond. ... the who's who of scientists, collectors, and curators who frequented the saleroom floor ... made many an auction as much a social and scientific gathering as a commercial event" |
