Rare Hamburg Sale Catalogue
Hecht, Jac. CATALOG DER SAMMLUNG HAMBURGISCHER MÜNZEN UND MEDAILLEN DES VERSTORBENEN HERRN ADOLPH NATHAN IN HAMBURG. Hamburg, 14. November 1900 und folgende Tage. 8vo, contemporary brown cloth-backed mottled boards, gilt. (6), 223, (1) pages; 2471 lots; prices realized list bound in. Near fine. Very rare: not in the ANS Library and apparently the first copy we have handled. As explained by the cataloguer C. Samtleben in the introduction, Nathan bequeathed a number of the pieces listed in the catalogue to the Hamburger Kunsthalle-these are indicated with an asterisk to denote that they are not to be sold, but are listed to provide a more accurate portrait of the collection as it stood at the time of the collector's death on February 22, 1900.
