2 More Stainforth Books Located at UVA

This evening, I found two new Stainforth books located in UVA’s Small Special Collections online catalog. Once more, it is Stainforth’s bookplates in library provenance metadata that enables us to search for his books and locate his exact copies in online library catalogs. Today’s catch includes:

    • Format: Book; Description: 3 v. ports. 19 cm; Notes: Edited by Mary Elizabeth Robinson, Vol. 1 printed by J. M’Creery, v. 2 by J. Adlard, v. 3 by J. C. Barnard; Local Notes: Armorial bookplate of Stainforth; Presentation copy by “Miss Robinson”; Sadleir-Black Collection of Gothic Novels; Gift.
    • Read it in HathiTrust Digital Library. (Note: this is not Stainforth’s exact copy.)
