MONOGRAPHS
Walcher de Molthein, Leopold. Catalogue de la Collection des Médailles Grecques. Paris and Vienna 1895. 294 pages, tissue-guarded frontispiece portrait engraving of Welzl de Wellinheim, 31 plates including 1 plate of symbols. Large 8vo (19x27cm), black quarter leather with marbled boards and end papers, gilt spine letters. Original printed front paper cover bound in. Boards chipped at edges, library stamps. Interior Very Good. CS 1999
A note from BCD: One glance at this respected 125-year-old publication of the Walcher de Molthein Greek coins is enough to spot an Elis Caprara (Pl. XI, 1590 = No. 35), a fantasy bronze of king Areus of Sparta (Pl. XII, 1640) and an early obol of Lokri Opuntii misattributed to the island of Ceos. This copy de-accessioned from the Athens cabinet library!
