Thanks. What an odd sort of "book"!
Here are the cover (container?) and title page of the de Sartiges Collection book, found on Google Images: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The cover looks...
Spectacular! But if I miss out on that level of coin by not going on Thursday, that's OK. I'm sure that each of them is way beyond my budget....
It does seem that a lot of us love collecting this series. But 16 provinces is amazing! I've never seen a lot of them before.
My son isn't quite at that stage; he's "ABD" in the History of Art PhD program at the U. of Toronto. Small world! I visited him there at the end...
