NotesFrederik Carel Theodoor, baron van Isendoorn in Blois van de Cannenborch, was the last representative of a family dating back to a Willem de Cocq, lord of Isendoorn (under Tiel), who died in 1318. The castle of Cannenburg became the property of this family around 1560 by a marriage with Margaretha van Rossem, sister of the famous general Maerten van Rossem to whom the castle had belonged since 1543. Baron van Isendoorn, cited above, was a zealous amateur who brought together a fine collection, especially in drawings and in prints, by purchases from the best sellers of his time (IJver, Dumesnil, de la Motte Fouquet, von Fries, de Graaf, Esdaile, Wolterbeek, Verstolk, etc.). After his death the inheritance gave rise to litigation; his widow, a baroness van Oldeneel tot Oldenzeel, had the usufruct and the property fell to others. All the paintings, drawings and prints passed into the hands of a banker, Wolff, of Amsterdam, and of a certain Cohen, interested in Wolff's affairs, who organized the public sales. J. Ph. Van der Kellen, director of the Prints Office in Amsterdam, assisted in the description of the drawings and prints. The tapestries that adorned the castle, as well as the paintings that had not been part of the sales of August 19 and October 7-8, 1879, were sold at Roos in Amsterdam on April 18, 1882.
The mark, affixed by the care of the house Roos, which directed the sale, was mainly used for the designs. The prints in this collection can be recognized by the initials of Wolff and Cohen written in pencil on the back (see L.2610).
