[Manuscript]. [WHITEWAY (Philip)]. Collection of two volumes - Lot 42

[Manuscript]. [WHITEWAY (Philip)]. Collection of two volumes by English archaeologist Philip Whiteway relating to his family and ancestors. Active since the end of the 19th century, Whiteway notably worked in the necropolises of the Nile Valley; having become close to Joseph Déchelette, he donated an important collection of archaeological objects to his museum in Roanne in the 1920s. 1. The Diary of William Whiteway, M.P., 1618-1634. Typescript copy of British Library manuscript Egerton 784. In-4, modest gray cloth binding. 101 numbered leaves typed in red and black on r° alone. On the endpapers are pasted 5 albumen photographs of Dorchester. (Three leaves preceding the text are stained with glue and torn but not missing). 2. Whiteway Genealogy. Collection, in-4, garnet half-chagrin with corners, spine ribbed, gilt title (spine faded, rubbed). 208 numbered leaves, most with typed text, some with inserted documents such as postcards, photographs and old handwritten letters, as well as a large fold-out genealogical chart. Both volumes bear the bookplate of P. Whiteway, and several times a more modern stamp in the name of Yves Castanet.
