Text is in French, with Italian works annotated by Lionello Venturi (but in French). Paintings, tapestries, Limoges porcelain, miniatures, bronzes, and goldsmithing are all featured in this large compendium of the collection. Catalogue from the public sale held November 13-14, 1928. Most works are by French, Dutch, or Italian masters. Marcell or Marczell Nemes was a Hungarian financier, art collector and art dealer. Sadly, Hungarian art is lacking in this collection. NOTE: This volume is the text booklet ONLY with descriptions of the works up for auction. The bw plates are NOT included in this listing. This likely was a version sold for informational purposes, or it could have been removed from a volume with the plates.
