History
Ernest Dressel North was a prominent antiquarian bookseller, born in New York in 1858. He opened his shop in 1902 and retired in 1944. He potentially had the world's largest collection on Charles Lamb and had prominent clients, including Henry C. Folger. In March 1920 he had the winning bid on the original manuscript for Shelley’s “Julian and Maddalo, a Conversation”, paying over $16,000.
