A fascinating manuscript catalogue by a German jewellery designer with an almost unbelievable variety of pieces of jewellery of all sorts including rings and earrings, pins and brooches, necklaces with pearls and with pendants, bracelets, cuff links, seals, ribbons, tiaras and barrettes. The majority of designs handcoloured with added wash colours, quite a number of them with manuscript numbers, some crossed out, etc. Minor thumbing and traces of usage, a wonderful catalogue, showing the intense efforts of a jewelllery designer over a period of two years to delineate a wide variety of jewellery designs on behalf of a German jewellery manufacturer.
