Anonymous pamphlet [attributed in manuscript on cover to Carter] entitled 'Charles Scribner's Sons, 23, Bedford Square, London'. Containing four photographs of the firm's new London premises.
8vo: 4 pp, surrounding a bifolium carrying 4 pp of photographs. Stitched. Printed on laid paper and nicely produced. Lightly creased, and with the covers grubby and lightly-spotted. Begins 'CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, their London house having outgrown its quarters in Regent Street, have moved to twenty-three Bedford Square where they are occupying one of the old Adam houses, the lease of which they have purchased from the Bedford estate.' The four photographs consist of an exterior view, the 'Manager's office', 'One of the Adam fireplaces' and 'Entrance hall'. '[...] Since 1920 the present manager, Charles Kingsley, a graduate of Yale and experienced in American publishing, has been in charge, with John W. Carter of King's College, Cambridge, as his assistant and bibliographical expert, [...]'. In pencil on front cover is written 'by John CARTER', but Dickinson's biography of Carter (Oak Knoll, 2004) neither lists the item among Carter's works nor mentions it in the text, and it is more likely to be the work of Kingsley.
