About the A.L. Collection:

We acquired the "A.L." collection of engravings in London. It contains over one hundred prints created by leading German engravers of the eighteenth century. The anonymous collector "A.L." cut several of these prints to design and past on a larger laid paper. In 1762, A.L. bound his collection into one volume and provided the title in German, "Sammlung von Bildnussen hoher Potentaten vornehmer Herren beruehmter Gelehrten und anderer verdienten Maenner. Gesammelt von A.L., 1762." [Collection of Pictures of High Potentates, Gentlemen, Famous Scholars and Other Distinguished Men, collected by A.L. 1762.]

Without doubts, A.L. can be considered as a German collector. Most of the engravings have a handwritten number at the upper right corner. We provide this number in our item description as the reference number of the A.L. Collection. The fact that this collection was bound in 1762 provides additional warranty that the prints are authentic and created prior to 1762.

Certifications of Authenticity will be included upon buyers request.

Artwork will be mailed unframed, well packaged.
