A note from BCD: One look at the artistry of this gem of a book and it will not be an exaggeration to agree with this writer that there will never be another photographer of ancient coins like Max Hirmer. For this particular book the choice of coins to photograph was left to Hirmer who was also an ancient coin collector.
