Nicodemus Tessin the Younger was one of the great European architects of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His whole career, however, was limited to his native country Sweden. This edition of the catalogue of his collection, the first edition of a grand series entitled “Catalogue des Livres, Estampes & Desseins,” intends to finally introduce Tessin to a foreign public. Following an interfoliated, facsimile of the catalogue, this edition also includes extracts of Tessin’s letters to his son, expressing his wishes for later collections.
