| Description | This notebook appears to have been used by Oppé to keep a basic record of the works in his collection. The information is ordered numerically, by the catalogue number assigned by Oppé, and runs from 1-2211 (covering works bought between 1900-1940).
Oppé's entry for each work usually includes some or all of the following information:
-date of purchase
-artist name
-title of work or description
-seller name and price paid
-notes on whether it was framed or mounted upon purchase
The title used above was inscribed in the notebook's inside front cover.
The back of the notebook appears to have been used by Oppé to record information about:
-profit and losses made by the purchase of works of art
-items furnishing the Oppé home including silverware, sculpture, porcelain, glass, brass, pewter, framed pictures (occasionally including a description and/or price paid) |
