A near unbroken run of catalogues issued by London based booksellers Reeves and Turner between October 1864 and August 1866. The partnership between William Dobson Reeves (1825-1907) and Osborne Turner (1825-1887) was established in 1851. From inception the firm embraced publishing as well as bookselling, focusing primarily on reprints of early texts, though later encompassing modern works, including, notably, some of the books of William Morris.
