Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. Journal of The Wine Label Circle, 1952-1984, Large run. This is a scarce set of journals of The Wine Label Circle - an association for those interested in wine labels in silver and other materials which identify the contents of decanters and other bottles. Not connected with paper wine bottle labels. This is essential reference of those interested in the subject. Includes detailed studies on collections of wine labels and is well illustrated. These are really very scarce with the journals only being produced for the membership, which in volume 1 consisted of 23 named individuals. In later years the membership reached over 100 members, including some museums. The contents are a real labour of love - simply produced, but with a wealth of information. The set comprises 5 sets of journals which have been book bound and 3 clamshell style cases containing loose journals. The last of these contains loose reference material. They carry the bookplate of the previous owner 'DBI'. There will also be personal annotations throughout.
