NOTES:
[1] With the Anschluss, or annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany in March, 1938, the possessions of Alphonse and Clarice de Rothschild were seized and expropriated almost immediately by Nazi forces. This book bears a label from the library at Hohe Warte (Vienna), where the Rothschild family maintained a residence and extensive gardens. The precise fate of the book during the Nazi era is not known, but it was in the possession of Clarice de Rothschild again following World War II.
