A. von Sallet, revised by K. Regling; K. Regling. Die antiken Münzen; Die antiken Münzen als Kunstwerk. (Berlin, 1929 and 1924). 174 pp., fully interleaved and with many illus. in the text; (4) + 148 pp., 45 pls. The first elegantly bound in Greek-style boards with a gold-stamped leather label; the second in the original gold-stamped leather. Both in fine condition, The first very unusual and interesting, the second as issued.
The first given as a present to Dr. W. M. Stoecklin as a belated wedding present from August Voirol in 1948, the second from the library of O. Bernhard and given to Dr. W.M Stoecklin by his father, Dr. W. F. Stoecklin, on 12 February 1954.
The first book is rather evocative since it was a copy that Voirol had rescued from the wreckage of World War II - the pages up through page 2 were missing and replaced by carefully copied typed versions; it was also specially rebound in Basel by F. Schroth and completely interleaved so that notes could made (there are some). Voirol tells this story in his poignant dedication to Walter Stoecklin jr.
