Author: WEIGEL, R.,
Title: Rudolph Weigel's Kunst-Auction in Leipzig. Catalog von Kupferstichen, Radirungen, Handzeichnungen etc. Versteigerung den 18. April 1868.
Description: Leipzig, Bar & Herrmann, 1868, 141 pages, original paper binding, auction catalogue of Leipzig-based print-dealer, publisher and collector, descendant of the long-established Weigel dynasty. Published a 'Kunstcatalog' from the 1830s that served as standard price-lists for earlier prints. The company (Rudolph Weigel Art Auction Institute) was taken over in 1871 complete with its customer file by Paul Erwin Boerner (1836-1880) who previously worked as a commission agent for the Rudolph Weigel. This was a huge expansion for C.G. Boerner (q.v.) and it marked the start of the company's auctioning activities. 'Otto Weigel Leipzig' appears as publisher on William Simpson's series of lithographs 'The Seat of War in the East' (Abbey Travel 237), 1855-6; presumably related.
