Note du spécialiste

As indicated by the receipt illustrated here, this album was purchased by Paul Kürtzig (1899-1948) at the Rudolph Lepke’s Art-Auction House in Berlin in 1931, when he was a young lawyer who was fond of art and assembling his collection. In the early 1930s, he emigrated to Palestine, taking the album with him. Later, his family brought the album back to Europe and eventually to the U.S.
