Les Ventes publiques d’estampes à Paris sous la Troisième République. Répertoire des catalogues (1870-1914)

Public Print Auctions in Paris Under the Third Republic.
Catalog Directory (1870-1914)

This directory is based on the detailed analysis of annotated auction catalogs from the 19th century preserved in the Print Department of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Each notice is accompanied by an analytical commentary containing a summary of the auction, a short biography of the collector and some of the more significant prices realized in the auctions. The book brings together unpublished biographical information on many amateurs and bibliophiles of the 19th century whose prints collections were catalogued and sold at auction. In addition, many new provenances help correct or supplement the two works of Frits Lugt, "Répertoire des catalogues de ventes" and "Marques de collections de dessins et d'estampes".


Présentation

Ce répertoire est rédigé sur la base du dépouillement de la collection des catalogues de ventes annotés conservés au département des Estampes de la Bibliothèque nationale de France. Chaque notice est accompagnée d'un commentaire analytique contenant une courte biographie du collectionneur, un résumé de la vente ainsi que les prix les plus significatifs atteints dans les adjudications. L'ouvrage apporte des éléments biographiques inédits sur les amateurs et bibliophiles du XIXe siècle dont les collections furent cataloguées et mises aux enchères. De nombreuses provenances nouvelles viennent corriger ou compléter les deux ouvrages de Frits Lugt, "Répertoire des catalogues de ventes" et "Marques de collections de dessins et d'estampes".
