Dear Stephan, You should donate it to a gallery of music library or a lute society. Normally, copper engravings of this size, even copies of well-known paintings by famous painters reproduced by copper plates, make between 100 and 500 EURO in an auction today. However, I do not know what a "Liebhaber" is prepared to pay...
Kind regards from Vienna, Bernhard -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] Im Auftrag von Stephan Olbertz Gesendet: Donnerstag, 7. Juni 2012 09:00 An: baroque-lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Betreff: [BAROQUE-LUTE] Rare Weiss engraving for sale I own a copy of the well-known engraving of Silvius Leopold Weiss (with the subtitle "Es soll nur Silvius die Laute spielen"). It's engraved 1765 by Folin after a painting by Denner and measures ca. 10 x 15 cm. You all have seen it more than once, as it is the only surviving picture of Weiss. I don't know how many copies survived, but it can't be much. The copy is in a very good condition, except what seems to be the traces of some small sparks. This is definitely a rare and beautiful piece of lute history. I'm looking forward to your offers, If you are interested, please contact me off-list. -- Viele Grüße Best regards Stephan Olbertz To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
