A fine set. A well-preserved set of the French translation of Монеты Царствованiя, the history of which project is given in the lot descriptions above. This French translation includes all of the superb plates of coins and their accompanying detailed descriptions, but omits the lengthy historical documentation. This edition was produced with the approval and cooperation of the Grand Duke, and the plates came from St. Petersburg and are of identical quality to the ones appearing in the Russian edition. (See V. Arefiev’s 2012 Grand Duke Georgii Mikhaïlovich, Corpus of Russian Coins, French Edition, Paris 1916: A Brief History for more information.) Only 200 sets of the Russian edition were issued; archival records published by V. Arefiev state that only 100 copies of each plate were printed for the French edition, suggesting a maximum number of French sets published. They rarely appear on the market. Clain-Stefanelli 11180*. Grierson 194. Ex Christie’s library, with their bookplate dated 25/4/1979, sold as a duplicate when Christie’s acquired Spink and merged their libraries.

Schubert, Général T.F. de. MONNAYES RUSSES DES DERNIÈRS TROIS SIÈCLES, DEPUIS LE CZAR JOAN WASILIEWICZ GROZNYI JUSQU’À L’EMPEREUR ALEXANDRE II. 1547–1855. Leipsic: Ernst Schäfer, Libraire-Éditeur, 1857. First edition. Two volumes: text and plate atlas. Text: 4to, later tan linen-backed mottled boards; green spine label, gilt. xiv, 331, (1) pages; 1072 descriptions. Atlas: oblong folio [27.5 by 41 cm], full red morocco, decorated in gilt. Title printed in gilt on a blue background; engraved plate of edge designs and legends; 36 additional superbly executed plates of coins printed in relief and in gold, silver and copper tints on a charcoal background. Plate descriptions printed in Russian. Text volume with intermittent light staining. Plate album binding very worn, with boards detached but present; some staining to legend plate; coin plates attractive and near fine. Very rare and most desirable. Feodor Fedorovich Schubert’s monumental work on modern Russian coins is well described in a Journal of the Russian Numismatic Society article by Randolph Zander, as follows: “Schubert published in French, having an eye to a broad European public and intending that his catalogue should serve as a generally accepted standard work. His work was based on his own collection plus the results of study of over 30 major Russian collections, visited repeatedly and researched over a period of 10 years. The format combines scholarly discipline with practical features. Schubert defined his method in these words: ‘In my work I have set myself these conditions: to bring together all that is known up to now on Russian coins, to classify them by reigns, in each reign to classify the coins by types each bearing a consecutive number, and to provide an illustration of the best available specimen of each type, to place under each type number the lesser varieties of the given type—such as date, edge, legend &c, with each such variety assigned a letter following the number: to indicate the references where to coins may be found: and in the case of rare coins the collections which contain them; to show the weight of each gold and silver coin, and to fix a price which a collector might expect to pay for each piece.” There were numerous in-text footnotes, discussing a variety of subjects, and each reign was accompanied by a discussion of its monetary history. There is no question but that the work was far more orderly and forthcoming than Chaudoir’s of the other extant catalogues. It was in this 1857 work, published two years after the death of Nicholas I, that Schubert first ventured to publish, under No 964, his ‘unique’ specimen of the Constantine ruble acquired in confidence a few years earlier from Jacob Reichel who had produced and retained it a generation earlier. He gave currency to the cover story that the piece had been sent to the Grand Duke Constantine (the putative Emperor) in Warsaw for his approval. A striking if not altogether practical feature of the 1857 Catalogue is the bound atlas… On the plates are 2144 embossed images showing the obverse & reverse of the 1072 major numbered types described in the catalogue. The embossed images in relief were produced on Congreve’s Press by means of clichés taken from galvano copies of the coins, many taken from collections other than Schubert’s in order to insure the best example of each type. Bringing these together was a major undertaking in itself. The method of illustration, of which Schubert’s atlas was one of the early examples, had a certain vogue at the time… Given Schubert’s exacting methods of choice of specimens for illustration, the over-all visual effect of each folio page of excellently embossed and metal-colored illustrations is impressive indeed… But if coins can suffer from cabinet friction, think of the havoc wrought by ‘page friction’ if the atlas gets much earnest consultation!” The coin plates in this copy are well-preserved; this sumptuous work represents the zenith of this delightful illustration process pioneered by the Schäfer firm.

Mionnet, T.E. DESCRIPTION DE MÉDAILLES ANTIQUES, GRECQUES ET ROMAINES, AVEC LEUR DEGRÉ DE RARETÉ ET LEUR ESTIMATION; OUVRAGE SERVANT DE CATALOGUE À UNE SUITE DE PLUS DE VINGT MILLE EMPREINTES EN SOUFRE, PRISES SUR LES PIÈCES ORIGINALES. TOME PREMIER–TOME SIXIÈME. SUPPLÉMENT. TOME PREMIER–NEUVIÈME. RECUEIL DES PLANCHES. Paris, 1806–37. Sixteen volumes complete. 12mo, contemporary brown quarter calf with marbled boards; flat spines ruled and lettered in gilt; red pages edges. Bindings rubbed; very good or better with fine interiors. The rare original edition of this monumental work, still consulted with profit. “A remarkable figure in numismatics at the turn of the century was the Frenchman Theodore-Edme Mionnet (1770–1842), who joined the Cabinet des Médailles in 1795. Strongly influenced by the classical tendencies of his age, he pursued ideals of disseminating knowledge of ancient coins among wider circles … he published descriptions of the type, history and rarity…. Eventually the publications grew into a considerable work, Description des médailles antiques grecques et romaines aver leur degré de rareté et leur estimation, published between 1806 and 1813 in six volumes with an additional volume of plates. The Supplément, in nine volumes, was issued between 1819 and 1837. In this largest publication (up to that time) on Greek coins, Mionnet succeeded in describing over 52,000 pieces. Although the work is not flawless and its scholarly standards are lowered by a continuous preoccupation with establishing the commercial value of coins, it still remains, through its wealth of information, an invaluable reference.” — Elvira Eliza Clain-Stefanelli, Numismatics—An Ancient Science. Babelon pages 132–136. Bassoli 45. Clain-Stefanelli 1855*. Daehn 165.

The French text is printed in italic type, the Latin text in Roman type. Bartoli (1635–1700), noted painter and engraver, was antiquarian to the Pope and to Queen Christina. The author, Sigebert Havercamp (1684–1741), who also translated the Latin text into French, was professor of Greek at Leiden. He was a well-known classicist, orator and antiquarian.

A massive, quite handsome production, meticulously recording the remarkably fine collection assembled by the princes of Saxe-Gotha. According to Babelon, at the turn of the twentieth century it still “formed the core of the current collection of Gotha.” Bassoli, however, reports that the collection was dispersed at the end of World War II. Babelon 113. Bassoli 32. Clain-Stefanelli (Numismatics—An Ancient Science) page 31: “The little principality of Saxe-Gotha could claim an important collection which had been assembled by its princes. Frederick II (1691–1732) proclaimed that he created this cabinet ‘for the reputation of Our Princely House, and for the good of the public.’” Hennin 218. Hirsch 76. Lipsius 229. Strandberg 103.

A fine set with few signs of wear. Hungarian Count Michael Wiczay (Mihály Viczay, 1756–1831) formed a particularly important collection of Greek and Roman coins in the years around the turn of the eighteenth century. This catalogue, prepared by Caronni, is rare and remains important. Cohen was fond of citing it, and the collection was dispersed into both the general numismatic trade (via Rollin) and some of the major national collections (Paris and Vienna), making these volumes quite useful for advanced provenance research.
