White in March 1908; the volume given in July 1917 by White to his daughter, Frances White Emerson; the three illuminated books, still bound together but without the drawings, sold from Emerson's collection at Sotheby's, 19 May 1958, lot 4 (£23,000 to the dealer John Fleming, who apparently disbound the three illuminated books); The Song of Los copy C sold by Fleming to Mrs. Landon K.
