See condition notes. Folio plates in the atlas volume are printed on brittle paper, and most edges are chipped. Some plates are mounted on boards; all are complete. A rare set of this unprecedented volume of antiquities and Renaissance items. Spitzer was born in Vienna in 1815 and moved to Paris in 1852. He assembled one of the greatest art collections of all time, which was sold after his death. The part of the sale catalogued in these three volumes took over two months to complete. Rarely offered for sale, a unique and unequaled reference.
