MONOGRAPHS.
Ward, John. Greek Coins and their Parent Cities. Accompanied by a catalogue of the author's collection by G.F. Hill. London 1902. 8vo (19.5x25.5cm). Text volume: 464 pages, illustrations throughout; 21 plates of coins in separate volume, three plates in excellent photocopies and three more plates having five cut out photos expertly replaced. New tan imitation leather with dark red spine letters, titles from original publication inset on front cover. Interior Good. CS 1933, Kroh p. 10, Daehn 2118
A note from BCD: Not just a great collection of Greek coins, the likes of which a private individual could never assemble today, but also a charming, old fashioned book that when read, somehow causes our real world to fade and the past to take its place. The second part, "Imaginary Rambles in Hellenic Lands", is in this writer's opinion a never-to-be-equaled piece of writing.
