The main portion of the collection consists of books with woodcuts, which have been chosen as representative of book-illustration in France; exhibiting the progress of graphic art from its first steps at Lyons and Paris to its highest point as exemplified in the multitude of devotional books produced between 1490 and 1525. Fairfax Murray's French collection included volumes from the libraries of Colbert, the chief political advisor to the Sun King Louis XIV, Madame de Pompadour, the Duc de Ia Vallières and Diane de Poitiers. "The two volumes are
bibliographical monuments of lasting importance" - Seymour de Ricci. "Owing to the extremely detailed bibliographical descriptions and critical notes by Davies, successively cataloguer and owner of the London bookselling firm of J. &J. Leighton, from whom many of the books were acquired, the catalogues of the Fairfax Murray Collection of French fifteenth- and sixteenth-century illustrated books (including a few of later date) may be considered selective bibliographies of their subject and belong indeed to the best reference works on it." - Breslauer and Folter. There are four good Indexes: Authors and Persons mentioned; Titles, Subjects and Places; Printers and Publishers; Former Owners. As New.
