ORR.Dr. v. B o t h Prague, 27 April 1944. III e 120-1/1944 3.Sy tau Angel. Herrn Min.Rat Dr. G i e s abg. 44K im Haus_e. Subject: Auction of A n d r e on 25. and 26.ds.M. At the auction are of mine, essentially on the basis of the list of ORRs. Z a n k l for the Ministry of State the numbers listed in the Annex are increased to the price of 2.065.-- RM / exclamation price 4.7@0.- Rm/. In addition the general supplement 111 of 15% in the amount of 309.7 RM, so that the total price stands at 2.3à#.76 RM. It has been avoided to compete with Prague's public collections or the Reichführert. The prices I offer are absolutely feasible. If the prices of 25th RM were significantly exceeded for the numbers 696 and 1008 /of the books of D u l 1 r /, then this was due to the surprisingly low approach. These books, illustrated by S c h w i n d and R i c h t e r, were not on the list of Z a n k l . They are among the most beautiful German illustrated books, but they are not known in an undeserved way. -A stick-spotted specimen of the K u g l e r, Firedrich der Goosse, in contrast to D u l l e ro overvalued K u l er - M e n z e l , broke at the auction l.180.- RM / exclamation price 180.- - RM/. A general report will follow next week as soon as A n d e has informed me of the promised list of main purchasers, which will only be included in the auction.
