REICHHALTIGE SAMMLUNG VON MEDAILLEN AUF PRIVATPERSONEN.... Frankfurt am Main, 4. Mai 1903 und folgende Tage. 8vo, original printed paper covers. (2), 238 pages; 5145 lots; 2 fine plates. Very good or better. A very scarce catalogue, well-preserved given the quality of the paper upon which it was printed. While the two plates are devoted to the enormous and important collection of personal medals offered in the sale, it is the offering of material from the French Revolution and Napoleonic era (pages 36–74, lots 1110–1694) that earned its place in the Margolis Library.
