The Catalogue People

A photograph of Guestroom No 3 at Hallwyl House with Countess von Hallwyl overlooking three of her employees' work. She had roughly a dozen men and women working as “Catalogue people”. The Countess’ decision was to make an inventory of everything within Hallwyl House at No 4 Hamngatan. The process of cataloguing took until 1955. The catalogue consists of 78 volumes and was printed in 110 copies.
