MONOGRAPHS. Hirmer, Max. Römische Kaisermünzen. Leipzig 1941. 12mo (12x18.5cm), 66 pages, including 48 plates, each depicting a single coin. Printed boards as issued, slightly rubbed. Very Good. CS 4036
A note from BCD: Magnificent Roman bronzes from Berlin, photographed by Max Hirmer. What a combination! The choice of coins – and medaillons – is masterful. Portraits or scenes lit from different angles and with different intensities. The mere thought that this booklet was published in 1941 can only generate a feeling of awe and reverence. We bow to the genius of Max Hirmer.
