Dear Lee:
This has come up recently here. As I understand it the volumes published in every way supercede the earlier volumes and have the benefit of full illustrations, among other improvements. The series can be tricky because some volumes were issued in both the old and the new series (The Weirix Family, for example appeared in both). See a review of an early "new" volume:
* Peter Parshall
* Simiolus: Netherlands Quarterly for the History of Art, Vol. 25,
No. 2/3 (1997), pp. 236-238

Subject: Hollstein editions
Does anyone know if the new Hollstein print corpora are true supersedes of
the older ones? I'd like to consolidate editions at my library and am not
sure if the old ones worth keeping on site. GLAH2 doesn't address this
(that I could see).
What I understand is:
The new Hollstein: German engravings, etchings and woodcuts, 1400-1700,
1996, supersedes (as far as they gotten) German engravings, etchings, and
woodcuts, ca. 1400-1700, 1954,
and
The New Hollstein Dutch & Flemish etchings, engravings and woodcuts,
1450-1700, 1993, supersedes Dutch and Flemish etchings, engravings, and
woodcuts, ca. 1450-1700, 1949.
As always, thanks to my colleagues,
Lee Sorensen
