Cumulative index and prices realized list bound in. Fine. The deluxe hardbound edition of Kolbe's 100th sale, available only by advance subscription. 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. Ex Raymond Hale library.
