Sir Charles Rugge Price

Also known as: Sir Charles Rugge Price; primary name: Price, Charles Rugge
Details: individual; collector; British; Male
Life dates: 1801-1866
Biography: Banker, and collector of china and prints. His remarkable collection of prints, including many portraits and book illustrations, was sold at Sotheby's 21.ii.1867, where the BM bought many items (see 1867,0309.1143 to 1711). Lot 395, Rembrandt's Hundred Guilder print advertised as the finest known impression, fetched a world record price of 1,180 guineas, and remained a record for a print until 1883. Price marked many (how many is not certain) of his prints in the bottom right corner of the sheets (sometimes backing sheets) in manuscript with his initials C.R.P. Some of these were acquired by the BM before 1867, showing that he was selling at an earlier date. Five volumes assembled by Price, each with a printed title page dated 1865, and containing biographical articles, newspaper cuttings, engraved portraits and miscellaneous printed items are in the Bodleian Library (MSS. Don. d. 156-60).
