Item description from seller

Brown cloth, gilt letters on spine, 238 pp., one BW plate as frontispiece. Title on spine: Catalogue of Painters in the Witt Library. From the opening note by Robert C. Witt: "The origin of this Library of Reproductions of European Pictures and Drawings of all Schools and Periods from the 12th century onwards was a general interest in Art, and in Painting in particular. But the idea developed as the want of some central and comprehensive storehouse for easy and rapid reference and research asserted itself." (p. iii) The book is a list of artists represented in the collection, in alpha order by surname, and with nationalties and birth/death dates. No titles of individual works appear, and no illustrations accompany the text, other than a view of the library interior as frontispiece. A supplement was issued five years later. This lot does not include a copy of it. G (No dj; board coverings are slightly wrinkled; pages are aged but nicely and cleanly.).

Store description

Mullen Books maintains a very active computerized inventory which grows by 2-300 titles per week. Our specialties include the Humanities, with an emphasis on Art, Architecture, Photography, Decorative Arts, History, as well as Periodicals related to those areas. We have very rare as well as fairly common titles. Current inventory is approximately 79,000 titles. We have about 1000' of backlog in our specialties numbering over 30,000 items (including 20,000+ smaller and ephemeral catalogues devoted to individual artist exhibitions). Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
