Leipzig: Karl Tauchnitz, 1809. First [only] Edition.. Contemporary three quarter leather.. Very good.. 8vo, xii, [2], 258 pp.
The earliest text to call for the organization of museum collections on principles of art history rather than antiquarian ordering. The author is best known for his work in architectural history. As director of the Dresdener Antiken Galerie he had hundreds of items from his own collection of coins duplicated as sulphur casts for exhibition. The copy offered here was once owned by his brother Conrad (1724 - 1795) and then passed to the Sixt family whose last owner (Friedrich Sixt) recorded the descent of the book through the family on the free front endpaper.
