 The books of Sulamith Wülfing A Bibliographical Work in Progress by Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. |

The longest journey begins with but a single step. This is that step. I searched the web in vain to see if someone else had already done this. Since I couldn't find a list of her work and there certainly is a need for one, I'm posting the information about the Sulamith Wülfing books I own so as to encourage others to contribute what information they have in their possession. Together we can assemble a working bibliography.
Over the years I've discovered that titles and contents were changed for several "Bands" when they were reprinted. I would like to know what those differences were. I thought it would also be interesting to know the source books for all of her pictures. So I'm starting this list with those books that I own and I'm documenting:
- The title (with a translation into English)
- The publishing date, edition and print run ("IV Auflage 10.000" = 4th printing to 10,000 copies - I think it is most likely that this number is cumulative and represents the total number of copies printed to that point.)
- The number of plates - how many color and how many black and white
- The titles and sequence of the plates.
If you would like to contribute information or pictures:
For those who want translations of German words or plate titles, I recommend Google Translations.
