Abstract

en_US
Here is a catalogue for the selling or auctioning of the collection of the greatest recent scholar on emblem-books. The sale was to take place on April 24, 1991. The catalogue itself of the 141 items is nicely done. It contains some thirty-six black-and-white photographs. What a lovely collection! There are the works one would expect from Abraham of Santa Clara (#1-2), Alciat (#6-12), and Cats (#29-30). But there are also works on the Sacred Heart (#48, 99) and on the first hundred years of the Jesuits (#5). There are unusual fable books, like l'Estrange in French, with Barlow's plates (#73). And there are well-known fable books like those of Heinsius (#4), Baudoin (#18), Faerne (#39), Gellert (#41), La Fontaine (#64-67), La Motte (#68), and Phaedrus (#90-93). All of this, and tennis too (#86)! The only shame here is that this great collection is being broken up.
