Beschreibung

Brown printed wrappers, small folio, 35 pp. 274 lots. From the introduction by C. J. Holmes: "No existing private collector, I think, possessed so rich an aggregate of drawings by the Italian masters. In drawings by the masters of France, Germany and the Netherlands, Henry Oppenheimer had no rival in this country. Owing to the proportion of works by early masters, his collection possessed the rare merit of illustrating the growth of art in Europe from the early Renaissance to the present day. Had it been transferred en bloc to some city or institution, it would, by itself, have formed a ready-made department of prints and drawings." Wrappers somewhat duststained and with minor edgewear, tiny gold dot sticker on rear wrapper, otherwise Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-58509
