Details
Auction catalog of the exorbitantly expensive book collection of the paper magnate Ulco Proost (1885-1966). Illustrated in color and black and white. The list of proceeds was later circulated and should therefore be included (the auction raised 125,000 guilders). According to Buijnsters (GNA, p. 316), the auctioneer considered H.L. Gumbert this as the highest quality library ever auctioned by him.

Veilingcatalogus van de exorbitant kostbare boekencollectie van de papiermagnaat Ulco Proost (1885-1966). Geïllustreerd in kleur en zwart-wit.
De lijst met opbrengsten werd later rondgestuurd en hoort dus bijgevoegd te zijn (de veiling bracht 125.000 gulden op).
Volgens Buijnsters (GNA, p. 316) beschouwde de veilingmeester H.L. Gumbert dit als de bibliotheek met de allerhoogste kwaliteit ooit door hem geveild.
