All fine impressions on paper w. watermark gothic "P" and countermarks (apparently all sheets), w. good margins. All. lvs. w. tiny holes in left blank margins from formerly being threadbound together, as was done by (travelling) printsellers in earlier ages, to keep sets like ours neatly and unobtrusively together. A very good, rare complete set w. minor imperfections. New Hollstein (Van Heemskerck) 65-74 and New Hollstein (Muller) 9-18, all second state (of 3 or 5).
