MONOGRAPHS. Bompois, Ferdinand. Étude historique et critique des portraits attribués a Cléomène III roi de Lacédémone. Restitution de ces portraits a Antigone II, Doson roi de Macédoine. Paris 1870. 8vo (16.5x24cm), new quarter tan leather with dark red spine letters, original paper covers bound in; 79 pages, 2 engraved plates. Fine.
A note from BCD: History and iconography blend in the old fashioned way to produce a charming diatribe that at the time would not only be acceptable but also celebrated. That was one hundred and fifty years ago. Now, what remains, are the lovely etchings, a real bonanza for Spartan coinage aficionados.
Estimation: € 15
