[Vlasto] Ravel, Oscar E., Descriptive Catalogue of the Collection of Tarentine Coins formed by M.P. Vlasto, First Edition, text, 196 pp, with frontispiece and photograph of Vlasto, clothe bound with original cover applied; with 53 plates (illustrating 1888 coins), in separate cloth-bound folder, Spink, London, 1947, in very good order, rare
It has been noted that the plates are far superior to any subsequent reprint.
The remnants of a working library . The majority of the books in these lots have been used to a greater or lesser extent. Some have dust-jackets, some don't; many have company labels showing their origin; several have notes or cuttings 'tucked in'. They have been catalogued into groups by the subject they cover rather than a strictly alphabetical order. And, as with all libraries, there are a few gems, a few association items and a multitude of useful references.
(Estimate: 200-250 GBP)
