Softcover
1906 · Amsterdam
Amsterdam: Frederik Muller & Cie, 1906. Softcover. G- (Missing the back cover and perhaps 4 plates or one plate page; front cover and first flyleaves have heavy wear and soiling and age; plate pages have just lightly tanned edges.). Brown paper and cardboards wraps, 4 text pp., 56 BW plates on 49 pages. Text is in French. Issued in conjunction with a 1906 exhibition of 17th-century Dutch Masters paintings, held on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of Rembrandt's birth. This is a book solely of BW plates of about half of the 125 paintings in the exhibition. The preface seems to indicate the presence of 60 plates. This copy has 56 plates on 49 pages. Other copies have 50 plate pages. So at least one is missing here. Still a nice selection and an uncommon catalogue.
