MONOGRAPHS
Landon, C.P. Numismatique du Voyage du Jeune Anacharsis ou Médailles des Beaux Temps de la Grèce. Accompagné de descriptions et d'un essai sur la science des médailles par M. Dumersan. Paris 1823. 119 pages, 30 engraved plates. 12mo (12.5x19cm), recent ochre full leather, spine with two raised bands, dark brown letters. Lightly foxed. Near Fine. Leitzmann 72
A note from BCD: Although it is generally accepted that the charm of this book lies in its admittedly lovely etchings, this writer suggests that reading the text accompanying these miniature works of art could also provide some moments of elation. The unadorned but elegant binding adds to its allure as an object of beauty.
