This catalogue was produced for a comprehensive exhibition of art treasures housed in Leipzig. It includes objects from some 10 museums, archives, libraries, publishers, firms, and private individuals.

The documentation, texts and photographs are first class and this book is a treasure trove for anyone who might want to visit Leipzig.

A very interesting book in many respects!… (mais)
