EDERHEIMER AND WIDELY KNOWN AS THE JUNIUS S. MORGAN COLLECTION TO BE SOLD AT UNRESTRICTED PUBLIC SALE ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1916 THE SALE TO BE CONDUCTED BY MR. THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANTS, OF THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, MANAGERS NEW YORK CITY INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY MR. EDERHEIMER The collection of 185 prints in this catalogue was purchased by me from Mr. Junius S. Morgan in November, 1915. It is intact as when purchased, no print having been taken therefrom or added thereto. It was my original intention to dispose of this collection en bloc, as I felt reluctant to have separated its wonderfully complete and illus- trative material. Importunities from representatives of museums and private collectors were made to me, however, to permit one or two, or half a dozen items to be bought from the collection and it seeming to me best to give to all an equal opportunity of acquiring that which they desired, I have taken the step of consigning this collection for sale at public auction. My property is to be in no wise guarded but is being offered by me for sale under the invariable terms and conditions of the American Art Association, which are that there shall be no protection of any kind or character, that no item shall have any reserve or up-set price placed thereon, and that in the fair competition of a public sale the highest bidder for any item be the purchaser thereof. In preparing the descriptions for the catalogue it has been hard for me to check the enthusiasm of an owner in not declaring practically every print “brilliant,” for there are few, indeed, which do not deserve such characterization. I have, however, in almost every instance, re- frained from superlatives, only using them where the prints were of such unusual beauty as to make their use imperative. As mentioned in the > some of which, descriptions, many of the prints are “with full margins,’ however, have been slightly cut down and a few to a considerable extent. Nevertheless, an examination of these will show that their value is not in the margin, as is sometimes the case, but in the exceptional character and condition of the prints themselves. The collection is of such extraordinarily high quality that one must commend the discriminating judgment of the collector who formed it. In it are many items of unusual rarity missing in the greatest of collections, and in some instances never before seen by many of the experts whose pleasure it has been to inspect these prints. The Le Blond, the Daret, the Kaunitz by Edelinck, a number of Nanteuils, especially that of Car- dinal de Retz; the Bouillon, Clermont-Tonnerre, Marie Jeanne de Savoie and the Pierre Seguier, are of utmost rarity, as are also the portrait of Opstal by an unknown engraver and belonging to the famous series, the Iconographie of Van Dyck and a beautiful Vouillemont plate here reproduced. A great number of the other items are conspicuous for their extraor- dinary brilliancy. Among these almost all of the Morins; the Bouma by Visscher; of the Nanteuils, the Seguier de St. Brisson, the Meilleraye, Michel Le Tellier, Turenne and others. Many of the less known engravers are represented by prints which excite our great admiration. Never before have I seen an example by Kilian which was as beautiful as the one here shown. The two plates by Pontius, the Swanenburch, the Van de Veldes and Matham are inter- esting and are illustrative examples by high class engravers, but little appreciated as yet in this country. The strongest representation is naturally of the French School. Here we find beside the leaders, Mellan, Morin, Nanteuil, Masson, Ede- linck and the Drevets, rare works by Boulanger, Duchange, Duflos, Lang- lois, Lenfant, Lochon, Lombart, Natalis, Pitau, Plate-Montagne, Poilly, Regnesson, Roullet, Van Schuppen, Simon, Trouvain and Vouillemont. There are a few examples other than those of the seventeenth century, and amongst these is an unusual portrait by George Pencz of the middle of the sixteenth century and some prints of the early eighteenth century. The collection also contains a highly interesting number of early mezzotints, all strong, rich impressions, many of which are by the Vail- lants, Leonart, Schenk, Gole, John Smith and others.

Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be likely to affect the sale in- juriously. 2, The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase money as may be required, and the names and addresses of the purchasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, in default of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put up again and re-sold. Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale, shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such pur- chaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale, shall be a charge against such purchaser. 4. Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except holidays—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American Art Galleries, or other place of sale, as the case may be, and only on presenting the bill of purchase. Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of any. purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 5. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, how- ever, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the purchaser. ‘Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter, while the Asso- ciation will exercise due caution in caring for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. 7. Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association of the cor- rectness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing, or any imper- fection not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion with- out proper foundation. SPECIAL NOTICE Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders trans- mitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone, will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchase so made will be subject to the above Condi- tions of Sale, which cannot in any manner be modified. The Association, however, in the event of making a purchase of a lot consisting of one or more books for a purchaser who has not, through himself or his agent, been present at the exhibition or sale, will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be returned, if the lot in any material manner differs from its catalogue description. Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale, or any session thereof, will be furnished by the Association at a reasonable charge.

Although Edelinck was born in Antwerp, he became French by adoption, and perfected himself in Paris where he engraved almost all his plates and where he became a member of the Académie Royale. Charles Sumner says of him:—“Younger than Nanteuil by ten years, Gérard Edelinck excelled him in genuine mastery . .. Longhi says that he is the engraver whose works deserve the first place among exem- plars, and attributes to him in the highest degree,—design, chiaroscuro, aérial perspective, local tints, softness, lightness, variety,—in short, every- thing which can enter into the most exact representation of the true and beautiful without the air of color ... According to the Italian teacher, he remains, ‘the prince of engraving.’ Another critic calls him ‘king’ !” EDELINCK, GERARD 21. Prerre pe Caravy, Garpre pe LA BistioTHEQvE DU Roy. Line- engraving.
