Various paginations NO ILLUSTRATIONS in any of the catalogues, but all are priced. All of these catalogues are exceedingly rare in the marketplace, and seldom if ever are offered for sale, either individually or as a group. The fact that the prices realized are included for nearly every lot in every sale is extraordinary and makes this grouping a precious resource on several research levels.
