About this work

A pen and watercolour drawing by Thomas Rowlandson shows a crowded book auction held in a library lined with shelves of bound volumes. An auctioneer stands on a raised rostrum at the left, while a large assembly of men in top hats and coats sits and stands around a long curved table. A servant in the centre carries a stack of books toward the bidders.
