TEL, as he is sometimes referred to, does not need an introduction. The personality, myth - his labour and works - continue to create a mysterious fascination for the tactician, military historian, and reader.
Natural History & Science
Natural History and Science
Sotheran’s is one of the few rare booksellers in the UK to still have a dedicated natural history department, and our love of the natural world goes back a long way.

New Acquisitions
Gould Toucans
Complete set of plates 1st Ed.
Completed in 1835, this was Gould’s first major work of lithography and features 33 spectacular plates, 20 by the great Edward Lear and the rest by that relatively unsung but equally brilliant artist Elizabeth Gould, John’s wife. Both artists bring a real character to the toucans that jumps off the page.

FEATURED COLLECTIONS
Oz Magazines
Published between 1967 and 1973 under the editorship of Richard Neville, Jim Anderson and Felix Dennis, Oz quickly became one of the most exciting magazine publications of its day. It was not without its controversy. The Oz offices were often raided by police, printers ordered to shut down, and the now infamous ‘School Kids’ issue, with sexualised Rupert the Bear parody cartoon, landed the editors a highly publicised obscenity trial.
