Colleagues,
I have recently been investigating the "Hollstein" situation, to fill in
our gaps. If you go to Hollstein.com, there is a lot of useful
information from the company that now distributes the volumes in the
USA, Sound and Vision.
As I recall, the first 10 volumes of both the German and the Dutch &
Flemish series are to be updated in the New Series of each original
series, but all other volumes in the original series and the new series
will/are unique.
However, the lists at the website are somewhat confusing, as there is
only a single number sequence for each of the German and the Dutch &
Flemish original/new series, but the titles in the New Series of each do
not have the corresponding numbers.
Furthermore, titles have been published in both New Series that are not
listed in either list at the website.
Quite a number of the older volumes are still available, for $685.00 per
volume, though discounts are available.

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
Best,
Amanda

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,
