Neue Auctions will hold an online-only collections and ephemera auction on Saturday, April 25th

BEACHWOOD, Ohio - April 15, 2020 - PRLog -- Neue Auctions' online-only auction of collections and ephemera on Saturday, April 25^th, will be packed with 340 lots of books, library furnishings, Natural History and orthinological (bird-related) prints, works on paper, assorted estate goods and a single-owner collection of collectible knives. There will be no live bidding and the start time is 9 am Eastern.

"In this strange and grim time of COVID-19, we need to reach for and retain the parts of our former life wherever we can," said Cynthia Maciejewski of Neue Auctions. "Luckily, we still have online auctions, and the trade in fine and rare and interesting goods can continue. We're doing our best to manage selling and shipping to customers as well as serving our consignors."

Maciejewski said the April sale is bigger than originally planned. "We put everything scheduled for the May auction into the April sale just to be safe, because the future is so uncertain," she commented. "Our tagline – 'Auctions Evolved' – is certainly coming true as we recreate our business model to continue working while social distancing. We're living in a different world."

Collectible books from the family of a Civil War general and an antique dealer's personal library are certain to appeal to bibliophiles. Included will be rare children's illustrated books and books dedicated to Civil War and related military themes, American history, government, slavery and abolitionists, American geology with fold-out maps, and rare first editions, including leather sets.

Presidential and militaria items will be led by an autographed letter signed by Ulysses S. Grant, a letter signed by Woodrow Wilson, George W. Bush autographs and collectibles relating to the Civil War and World Wars I and II.

The antique maps category will be highlighted by Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571-1638) Valentia c.1662, Gales and Hurricanes, from the Admiral Perry expedition of 1855, as traced by William Redfield; and Disposition of the English and French Fleets at the commencement of the Action, August 1st, 1798 from the memoirs of Lord Nelson.
