Provenance
Seller: Antiquariat Wolf, Schottenring 35, Vienna, accession number: 1943 no. 1080, date of accession: 8.4.1943. After the " annexation " of Austria, Alfed Wolf acquired large stocks of persecuted booksellers. Whether this book originated from such a warehouse is difficult to trace. On a list of Nazi looted property found in the National Archives' holdings in the "USACA Monuements and FIne Arts Branch, Records of the U.S. Allied Commission for Austria (USACA) Section, 1945-1950, page 18), a book with the same bookplate by Alfred Ehrenfeld and the artist Ranzoni is mentioned. For this reason there is a suspicion of Nazi looting. Short description of the source: "NARA M 1927: The individual claims and general records of the Monuments and Fine Arts Branch of the United States Element, Allied Commission for Austria (USACA) SEction, 1945-1950" a book with the same bookplate by Alfred Ehrenfeld is mentioned. For this reason there is a suspicion of Nazi looting.
