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
