Rembrandt – Exquisite Portfolio with 45 Etchings, 1904
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, probably a serial number identifying the etching. Each etching is attached to passe-partout (in four cases, two small engravings are mounted on one passe-partout). Each passe-partout leaf is inscribed in pencil with the title of the etching (in German), year made, and a catalogue number. No table of contents or additional details. Exquisite leather portfolio, title embossed on the front and a window through which a Rembrandt engraving can be seen. On the inner side of the portfolio is a gilt caption – A.D. MDCCCCIV.
