Specialist note

According to Lugt, a substantial part of the prints collection of the Princes of Liechtenstein was acquired by Colnaghi & Co., London, probably in four installments between 1949 and 1952. Only subsequently, the collector's mark was applied in London, in particular to the finest impressions intended for the American market.
