Amsterdam, 11 March 1930. 8vo, original printed card covers. (2), 32 pages; 642 lots; 7 fine plates. Near fine. A scarce sale with significant American content. Were it listed in Adams, it might well qualify as an A sale.

Ex Kolbe 2006 ANS Benefit Auction, lot 3 (part); ex Cardinal Collection Library.
