And there is much more.
Condition: My copy of this catalog is used, but in very good condition, overall. The binding is tight, both covers and all interior pages are intact. The interior pages have no creases or tears. A previous owner has written prices in the margins of several of the pages. The writing does not interfere with the legibility of the text or the images. There is a slight bend to the front cover, which will probably straighten out if the catalog is stored properly. There is also minor evidence of wear to the edges ends of the covers spine. My copy contains the list of prices realized, which will be included with the catalog.
Note: It would have been impossible for me to have scanned any of the interior pages of this catalog without altering its condition. The picture that I have used is from the front cover and shows a detail of: A Jean Dupas Pencil and Charcoal Maguette for The Chariot of Thetis Etched Glass Mural in the Grand Salon of the Oceanliner Normandie from c. 1934 (Lot # 158).
