We're still working from home here in Washington, DC, so I'm hoping someone out there can look this up for me: I need to know the title and catalogue number that Simon Turner gives to P.2006 in the Wenceslaus Hollar volumes of New Hollstein
German. The etching itself is untitled. Several English-language institutions use the title "Young Negress" from Richard Pennington's earlier catalogue raisonné of Hollar's works. Catalogers at the Folger Shakespeare Library instead used the devised title
"Portrait of a Young African Woman" -- but that was before the Hollar volumes of New Hollstein were published.
Here's a picture of the print in question:

Our online catalogue has added title access and a 510 for the Pennington reference; I want to do the same for New Hollstein.
Thanks,
Erin.
