Essays on Art Collecting in "East-Central Europe, a collection of four case-studies of collecting in Bratislava and around from the 18th to the 20th century. The essays are all concerned with a different collector Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, Count Pálffy, Karl Kuffner and Enea Grazioso Lanfranconi and Count Antoine E. Seilern.
