Original textured green paper wrappers with mounted portrait illustration on upper cover. Privately printed catalogue of the art collection of Mary Frick Jacobs, documenting a refined assemblage of Old Master and eighteenth-century paintings, French and English works, Flemish and Dutch pictures, family portraits, tapestries, furniture, Chinese jades and crystals, Sèvres porcelains, Battersea enamels, and related objets d'art. Galleries are organized by school (French, Italian, English, Flemish/Dutch) with descriptive entries noting dimensions, provenance, and acquisition details (e.g., works by Jean-Baptiste LePrince, John Hoppner, and others). Illustrated with full-page black-and-white plates. A scarce Baltimore private press art catalogue reflecting early 20th-century American collecting taste. Prepared and published by Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs in Baltimore in 1938, this is the original edition, not a later reprint. Book Condition: Very Good. Original green textured wrappers worn at edges with small chips and short closed tears at extremities; spine rubbed. Text block sound. Interior generally clean with scattered foxing, most noticeable to preliminary and terminal leaves; plates clean and well-preserved. No institutional markings observed. Title page reads: 'Prepared and Published by Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, Baltimore, Maryland, 1938.' No indication of subsequent printings. This is the 1938 first and only edition. Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs (1858-1939) was a prominent Baltimore physician, philanthropist, and cultural figure associated with Johns Hopkins. He prepared and privately published this catalogue to document the collection of Mary Frick Jacobs, reflecting the refined European tastes of early 20th-century American collectors and contributing to the documentation of private art holdings in the United States. Mary Frick Jacobs (1871-1939) was a Baltimore philanthropist and art collector, best known for assembling a refined collection of European Old Master paintings, eighteenth-century French and English works, and decorative arts. She was part of a prominent Maryland family connected to civic and cultural life in Baltimore during the early twentieth century. Her collecting reflected the taste of American elites of the period, with a particular appreciation for eighteenth-century French masters, English portraiture, fine tapestries, Sèvres porcelain, and Chinese jades. The 1938 privately printed catalogue prepared by Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs documents her collection shortly before her death.…
