Sale of 374 lots. Mr. Levy began collecting rare books during a business trip to Paris. He bought steadily, but always discreetly, from the Paris and New York trade from the beginning of the 1940s until his death in 1980. His eclectic tastes are reflected in his library, which ranges from travel and atlases to 20th-century illustrated French books and from natural history to fine bindings. South American is particularly well represented in the library, not only in books, but in a fine group of original ethnographic watercolors. (p. 8).
