  DUTCH AND FLEMISH PAINTINGS:  PRIVATE COLLECTIONS APPROXIMATELY 725 TITLES. 

 

I have availble a collection of more than 725 titles (some titles consist of more than one volume) of private owner

 collections  of Dutch and Flemish 15^th-18^th century paintings.  These consist of auction sale catalogues,

exhibition catalogues, and catalogues privately published by the owners.   Some are recent; many are from

 the 19th century.  (The oldest title is an auction sale catalogue from Amsterdam, 1800.)   Quite a number are annotated

 with prices and buyers’ names.   Most of these publications were produced in Germany, France, Holland, and Belgium. 

The majority are illustrated; many of the older volumes are illustrated with etchings and engravings; some are illustrated with original photographs.  They range in size from unillustrated octavo volumes to heavy folios.  The condition

of most is very good or better. 

I note probably needlessly that most of these publications are quite scarce.  It has taken the owner of this collection

over 40 years to put this group together. 

With the internet it might not take 40 years to put this group together again, but it would still take a long time. 

Many of the older titles are not obtainable at all. A title list is available; it is arranged in alphabetical order, by collection name. I will be pleased to send this list as an attachment.  I can also send a hard copy, if it is requested. 

This collection is being offered as a unit.  Please write if you have an interest in this material.  

 Happy Holiday Wishes to All!
