Greetings friends,

Have any of you done a fairly systematic comparison of the Hollstein Dutch & Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts to the New Hollstein series?

Same question for Hollstein German Engravings, Etchings and Woodcuts and New Hollstein German...

Does the New Hollstein truly supersede Hollstein? Is there any information in Hollstein that the New Hollstein lacks?

Also, and I find this a bit concerning, I note that the Hollstein series volume (v.59) on the Wierix Family, part 1 (ISBN  90-75607-49-0) is identical to the New Hollstein volume on the Wierix Family, part 1 (ISBN 90-75607-98-9). Both dated 2003. (And I suspect I will find the same to be true if I check the other Wierix volumes in the two series.) Any other observations on obvious duplication between the Hollstein and the New Hollstein for either Dutch/Flemish or German?

Are you keeping both the original Hollstein and the New Hollstein in your stacks, or relegating the previous version to your local version of off-site storage?

Any insight into the relationship between these series would be most appreciated. Please share any and all comments with the list.

Regards,
Peter Blank
