JOHN F. FLEMING’S BARONIAL 57TH STREET GALLERY

John F. Fleming began working as a clerk for A. S. W. Rosenbach at the age of 15. Under Rosenbach’s guidance, he advanced as salesman, manager, and was named vice president of the Rosenbach Company in 1947. After Rosenbach’s death in 1952, Fleming purchased a large portion of Rosenbach’s collection of books and manuscripts, and he continued business as John F. Fleming Incorporated.

He operated his business out of Rosenbach’s former apartment at 322 East 57th Street until his death in 1987, “where he worked in baronial splendor. His of ce, a 60-foot room with 20-foot ceilings, was hung with tapestries and paintings, including a life-size portrait of the actor David Garrick. He worked at a 20-foot-long Spanish refectory table surrounded by polished oak bookcases” (New York Times, 21 December 21, 1987). According to a 1969 New York Magazine pro le of Fleming and his rm, Fleming preferred “buying to selling and has been known to refuse handsome offers from those he considers unworthy of the distinction the particular book confers. The result is 6,000 or 7,000 volumes housed in an apartment/of ce so large that a Rolls-Royce parked in one corner would be about as conspicuous as a footstool.”
