NICHOLAS Lynn H. - Looting Europe. The fate of works of art in the Third Reich and during World War II. Translated by Barbara Slawomirska. Cracow 1994. published by Baran and Suszczynski. 8, p. 447. original cardboard binding, wrapper.
Minor rubbing of the wrapper, otherwise very good condition. Illustrations in the text. From the wing of the wrapper: "'The Looting of Europe' by American author Lynn H. Nicholas is a superb combination of historical sensationalism and the extraordinarily richly documented work of a professional museum professional. The fate of European artworks during World War II is a mirror of the fate and attitudes of people during this tragic period. Nicholas reveals the behind-the-scenes of the wartime art 'market,' the special role of art dealing in the corrupt Third Reich, but also the plundering and destructive instincts on each side drawn into the wartime vortex."
