Große Familiensammlungen, edited and introduced by Douglas Cooper, was published by Droemersche Verlagsanstalt Th. Knaur Nachf. in 1967. This hardcover edition, printed in Switzerland by Conzett & Huber, Zürich, offers a comprehensive exploration of art collections with 361 illustrations, including 48 in color. Originally published as "Great Family Collections" in English by Weidenfeld and Nicolson Ltd. in 1965, this German edition provides a unique perspective on art and family collections, translated by Dr. Lilly v. Sauter. The book does not appear to be a first edition, as indicated by its 1967 German publication following the 1965 English release. The volume is bound in red cloth with gold lettering, indicative of its era and quality. This edition is particularly valuable to collectors interested in art history and collection narratives due to its detailed visual content and scholarly introduction by Cooper. The book is in good condition, with no visible inscriptions or library markings.
