On June 27 and 28, Christie’s auction house in New York will sell the Hauck collection under the title “The History of the Book.”
Prices are expected to exceed $4.5 million.
“Given the fact that we are really a regional history organization, it doesn’t make sense for us to keep them,” said Douglass W. McDonald, head of the Cincinnati Museum Center, which includes the historical society. Money from the sale will be used to care for the 50,000-plus books in the historical society collection.
