Item #4848

The regular hardbound edition of Kolbe's 100th sale, available only to subscribers to his hardcover catalogues. Collecting the four separately published parts into one volume, the hardcover is both a fine reference to a wide range of exquisite material and a testament to Kolbe's abilities as a cataloguer. Fittingly, in a sale realizing a few heart-stopping prices, the highest price realized for a single lot was for a complete set (one of two possible) of his own catalogues, which brought $40,000.

Price: $75.00
