Description: Leipzig, Bar & Herrmann, 1862, 147 pages, with 14 page pricelist, paper on board 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.
