Rembrandtsche Radierungen. Berlin: Amlser & Rothardt, 1904. German.
Exquisite portfolio with 45 etchings by Rembrandt, printed in the late 19th or early 20th century.
On the verso of the etchings are two stamps - "Facsimilireproduktion der Reichsdruckerei Berlin" and "Einzelverkauf durch Amsler & Rothardt Berlin W 64". At the bottom of each leaf is an embossed number, apparently a serial number identifying the etching. Each etching is attached to passe-partout (in four cases, two small etchings are mounted on one passe-partout). Each passe-partout leaf is inscribed in pencil with the title of the etching (in German), its year of production, and a catalogue number that identifies it bibliographically. No table of contents or additional details.
The etchings are held in an exquisite leather portfolio, with a caption embossed on the front and a window through which a Rembrandt etching can be seen. On the inner side of the portfolio is a gilt caption - A.D. MDCCCCIV.
[7] passe-partout leaves, 63X43 cm, [33] passe-partout leaves, 46X31 cm, one etching on the front of the box. The etchings are in very good condition. Slight damage and stains to portfolio. One strap and clasp missing. Lower edge loose (but not detached).
