Notes: "There are three versions of this unusual catalogue that differ regarding lots 19*-25* (i.e., lots 19a-25a). In the earlier version (Type A), these lots are lacking or are added by hand, while in the later versions they are printed. Initially this was accomplished by adding a page 4*, as found in the CL copy (Type B), but later these lots were squeezed onto p.5, resulting in a resetting of pp.5-7 (Type C)."--Cf.
