I love this epic thread,
thanks Ed!
:clap:
I dunno if this has been linked to somewhere within this massive curation, but recently I was tempted by a bookish thing which sent me searching - I'm a bibliomaniac and love finding tobacco related stuff, but resisted buying because it is more antiquarian-centric which doesn't titillate me as much, it's still up for grabs, affordable at $11.75:

Anytime I come across a book on ebay I do a search for comparable copies just to gauge value - I didn't find any other copies of this catalog so it may be worth grabbing because it may be somewhat scarce, but I was contented with finding the digital facsimile online at the NYPL:

The "chapters" are up top, I mostly enjoyed the "low life" section, especially in light of viewing all the Dutch art you've gathered here.
One print in particular grabbed my eye due to its strange surreality:
An image by Johann Rudolf Schellenberg of which I couldn't find a larger example.
Again,
many thanks for your dedicated perseverance of maintaining this grand exhibition which has provided great enrichment!
