The books on this page appear to be part of the important
Dietrichstein Library in Europe. The aristocratic Dietrichstein
family of Austria and Moldovia were politicians, diplomats, army
leaders and clerics, powerful 1500-1800.
All three of these books appear to be bound in the same leather and style
as the famed collection that was auctioned in Switzerland in the 1930's,
and two bear the signature of one of the family members who was the
tutor to Napoleon Bonaparte's son, and a patron to Beethoven and Schubert.
This is history in your hands . . .these are available for viewing on Friends Night.
We'll look for you Wednesday, 22 September, at 5 at Reston Regional!
And NOTE: Special items will be in the Display Case in the front entrance area as early as Monday! Take a look as you stop by!
