Iden Walter J. FINE & RARE OLD ENGLISH CLOCKS IN THE COLLECTION OF WALTER J IDEN, LONDON Two volumes hand-compiled with photographs by Iden mounted on card leaves and with detailed descriptions in ink, tissue guards, with manuscript index at beginning of vol. 1, introductory leaves to each section and notes at end of vol. 2, presentation inscribed in ink Melvyn H. Rollason With the Collectors compliments, Walter J. Iden, March 1941, 2 Volumes to the inside of the front board of vol. 1, original brown embossed cloth boards fastened with metal screws and with card slip cases inscribed M. H. ROLLASON ESQ. LUDSTONE HALL. CLAVERLEY, NR. WOLVERHAMPTON. (2). The current lot is one of only a few sets of albums produced by Walter Iden who clearly enjoyed creating heavily annotated photographic records of his collection compiled into albums. However as the collection grew and the albums became full he was in the habit of presenting them to an interested or helpful friend before starting new revised ones to include recent acquisitions. The earliest of these albums known is dated 1936 and, as with the current lot, notes were also included to record examples which had been disposed as the collection evolved. Mr. and Mrs. H. Rollason were connoisseur collectors of furniture, fine art and objects who lived at Ludstone Hall, near Claverley, Wolverhampton, 1939-70. The building itself is a splendid example of a Carolean mansion, built within an existing moat for the Whitmores around 1607.The house was well restored and its grounds improved by John Round Cartwright, who lived there until his death in 1910. In addition to the extensive landscape works undertaken by John Round Cartwright a red brick summerhouse is thought to have been added by Mr. and Mrs. Rollason; the house and contents belonging to them were also featured in a ten-page spread in the December 1965 edition of The ANTIQUE COLLECTOR.
