Historical/Biographical Note:
Robert S. Pirie was graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School. As an undergraduate he was attracted to bibliographical work in Elizabethan literature and was actively collecting while on service with the United States Army in the late 1950s. In 1963 portions of his collection were exhibited at the Grolier Club (a New York City bibliophile society), where he was an active member, and in 1972 he compiled for the Grolier Club John Donne, 1572-1631: a catalog of the anniversary exhibition of first and early editions. Many of the items in this exhibition were from Pirie’s collection, and he was acknowledged by Donne bibliographer Sir Geoffrey Keynes as a premier collector of original editions of Donne. During the 1960s and early 1970s Pirie was associated with law firms in Boston; he later practiced in New York City and then served in turn as Co-Chairman and CEO of Rothschild North America, Senior Managing Director of Bear, Stearns & Co., and Vice-Chairman of Investment Banking at SG Cowen Securities Corporation. He is now associated with the French bank Socété Genérale.
