Title
L1.62 Bleek Family Portrait Folder
Collection
Photographs and Portraits
Description
Wilhelm Bleek owned a small collection of engravings and lithographs of family portraits. The remains of the collection are still in their original large heavyweight paper folder, 21½ x 12½ inches. Using pencil, Bleek inscribed on the cover "Familien bilder" [Family Portraits] and in ink listed the contents and the original number of copies it contained. Only six of the portraits remain in the folder.
Notes
In the 1980s Scott removed the engraving of Johan August Sack from the folder and mounted it in an album on the Bleek family from which it is too fragile to be removed. Cited as Scott Bleek Album, 1980s. The portraits are listed below as Items #63 through #69.
