The Art Nouveau drawings were held in The Collection of His Highness Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan. The line drawings in the 32-page softcover/wraps (with additional Auction data at the end) are largely in black and white- some darker than others. The previous unnamed owner of the catalog added the prices realized for most of the drawings, hammered more than 45 years ago. There's a very cool photo (1912-14) of the famed artist holding his cat opposite the title page. The drawings (some nudity) are all clean, bright and unmarked. Of interest to Klimt and Art Nouveau collectors (KATALOG cover) and collectors of vintage art catalogues (i.e., investors). This one will be sent carefully packed, with tracking. See less
