His collection largely included 17th and 18th century portrait engravers, including many prints by Nanteuil. used the 1873c collector’s mark only after 1940, when he began collecting anew after his previous collections (Lugt numbers 1873a and 1873b) were stolen by the Nazis at his home in Etretat after the German invasion of France.
