This auction catalog was published in 1871 to facilitate the estate sale of a significant collection of legal literature previously held by Abraham de Vries and E. Boas, both of whom served as justices at the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam. Such catalogs were essential tools in the 19th-century book trade, serving as both an inventory for prospective buyers and a final record of a scholar's private library.

The publication was managed by the auctioneer R.W.P. de Vries, a well-known name in the Dutch book auction scene of the late 19th century, in collaboration with the firm C. Weddepohl. It reflects the standard typographical and organizational practices of the period, prioritizing clear bibliographic listing to assist legal professionals and institutional librarians in evaluating the scholarly contents of the deceased justices' working collections.
