Anne & Hugh Iremonger & Professor Eoin O’Brien

The Collection of Prof. Eoin O’Brien
Eoin O’Brien is a cardiologist and professor at the Conway Institute, University College Dublin, where he has led international
scientific research into high blood pressure. Recognised as a world authority on this illness he has published over 900 scientific
papers and written a number of books on hypertension. He is a fellow of both the Royal Colleges of Physicians of London and
Edinburgh and having a keen interest in humanitarian affairs, he serves in an administrative capacity on a number of international
bodies, including the World Health Organisation, to combat disease in countries with low resources.
O’Brien’s interest in the field has led him to study and write extensively on the history of medicine, his best known books being
Conscience and Conflict: A Biography of Sir Dominic Corrigan, and A Portrait of Irish Medicine; An Illustrated History of Medicine in
Ireland, co-authored by Anne Crookshank and Sir Gordon Wolstenholme. He has also edited historical books on three of
Dublin’s hospitals which were closed in recent years - The Richmond Hospital, The Charitable Infirmary in Jervis Street and the City
of Dublin Skin & Cancer Hospital on Hume Street. These books contain a photographic record of the voluntary hospital movement
that served the city of Dublin for over three centuries.
Apart from his medical and scientific interests, O’Brien has written books on Dublin writers and artists, including A. J Leventhal and
the artist Nevill Johnson, the latter of which he co-authored with Dickon Hall, Nevill Johnson 1911 – 1999: Paint the smell of grass.
Perhaps O’Brien’s most acclaimed work is a biographical study on Samuel Beckett, a close friend for many years, entitled The
Beckett Country: Samuel Beckett’s Ireland.This book, which illustrates the relevance of place in Beckett’s oeuvre, contains poignant
photography of Beckett’s time in Dublin and the inspiration the city and its environs provided for much of his work. Beckett asked
O’Brien to posthumously publish his first novel, Dream of Fair to Middling Women, which was published by the Black Cat Press in
1992.
These literary and historical pursuits demanded considerable research, which in the pre-internet days would have necessitated
long hours in libraries. O’Brien’s occupation as a busy cardiologist did not permit this and instead he acquired the books he need-
ed. This attention to detail is refleted in the focused and thoughtful character of his collection. This extensive library consisting of
Irish historical, topographical and literary works (most notably Beckett) as well as European literature and the history of medicine,
is now being auctioned. Many of the books have author’s dedications to O’Brien and some contain notes and letters to him, high-
lighting the personal relationships developed over years of collecting.

Paperworks, The Collection of Hugh and Anne Iremonger
This collection was born of necessity. Hugh was belatedly studying at Trinity, and when he graduated he and his wife Anne had three small children and
no job in sight. So they decided to start their own small business, which consisted of buying and selling antique items, on the basis that anything old was
only getting older and therefore appreciating in value. (Not always the case.) Brown Thomas was their first customer. Steel engravings by W H Bartlett
(from incomplete copies only) were cleaned by Hugh, watercoloured by Anne, mounted, framed and sold by this formerly iconic emporium. Seeing that
they were sold for three times the price they received for their prints, they decided to open their own retail outlet. First located in Dandelion Green, now
the Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, this hard-working and somewhat off-beat pair adorned the front window of what was formerly Strahan’s Furniture
showroom with their wares. They diversified from Bartlett’s Scenery of Ireland to many different subjects, depending on the damaged antiquarian books
which came their way, while complete and perfect volumes were always put on the shelves as an investment. Collecting pictures evolved in the same
way, when the realization dawned that antique frames might often enclose worthwhile pictures. The condemned building they occupied was eventually
redeveloped, and Hugh and Anne relocated to South Anne St, where they remained for some 30 years, doing the same old thing, renamed as Antique
Prints. When tastes changed, they included Classical Modern in their repertoire and eventually retired on the eve of the Recession, in 2008. During this
time the collection evolved to include a vast variety of different types of books, maps, objets d’art and post-cards.

FOR WALTER LOWENFELS,
SAMUEL BECKETT. WHOROSCOPE.
Hours Press, Paris 1930, stapled, loose in red wrappers (a little scuffed and soiled). One of 300
copies, 100 signed, this copy signed ‘for Walter Lowenfels’, with Beckett’s signature, the dedica-
tion not in Beckett’s hand. Without the white prize wrapper which is sometimes attached. Small
neat puncture passing right through the work, not passing through any letter.
Beckett’s first separately published work, a poem written in great haste for a prize of £10 (which
it won) offered by Nancy Cunard’s Hours Press.
Walter Lowenfels [1897-1976] was an American poet, journalist and editor and an active Com-
munist. His papers are in Yale. He lived in Paris in the 1930s, and the Hours Press published an
anthology (Henry Music) containing poems by Lowenfels, Beckett and Cunard among others.
The dedication in this work may be in Cunard’s hand. Cunard, heir to the shipping fortune, cut a
wide swathe through Paris in the inter-war years, including a brief liaison with Beckett.
A legendary scarcity, signed and in reasonable condition, and a superb association copy, redo-
lent of the revolutionary atmosphere of 1930s Paris.
