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.

One hundred sixty-eight volumes in all. Well over 60,000 pages, including text figures, maps, etc.; well over 2000 plates, including illustrations of ancient, medieval and modern coins, medals, tokens, paper currency, etc. Some earlier volumes a bit musty; generally near fine or better. Most volumes ex Georges Le Rider, with his bookplate. In Numismatics—An Ancient Science, Clain-Stefanelli writes: “Usually 1836 is considered a significant date in the development of numismatic science. In that year two periodicals were started which for over a century attracted the most distinguished numismatists of the time and set the highest standards in research. In Paris Revue numismatique was founded … in London appeared the … Numismatic Chronicle.” These two journals, along with Revue belge de numismatique, which began publication a few years later, remain indispensable storehouses of information on ancient coins, medieval and modern numismatics, especially relating to their respective countries of publication. Of the three, and those published before or since, Revue numismatique may be the most important scholarly numismatic periodical ever issued. Long runs appear on the market infrequently, and complete sets are extremely rare. Clain-Stefanelli 893. Engel et Serrure 65–67: “Cette revue, créée par E. Cartier et L. de la Saussaye, est la première publication périodique sérieuse qui ait été consacrée à l’étude des monnaies anciennes au profit des sciences historiques.” Grierson 21. The Mélanges de numismatique is Clain-Stefanelli 675; Engel et Serrure 75: “Receuil comencé en 1874 … pour remplacer la Revue numismatique dont la publication semblait arrêtée.”

Vindobonae (Vienna), 1828 [actually published in Leipzig; first volume gives date of publication as 1792 (correct for the first edition); second volume gives erroneous date of publication as 1839]; 1826 Addenda included in final volume. Eight volumes complete. 4to [24 by 19.5 cm], contemporary full speckled calf; flat spines decorated and lettered in gilt; black morocco spine labels, gilt; all page edges marbled.

Eckhel’s magnum opus; one of the major foundation works of modern scholarly numismatics. Joseph Hilarius Eckhel (1737–98) has been justly regarded as the “father of ancient numismatics” and his Doctrina as the major exposition of his principles. “With him began a new era in the study of ancient numismatics: rigid scientific methods entered the field of research supplementing the usual approach of the amateur. For the first time in its history the basic elements of ancient Greek and Roman numismatics—metals, ponderal systems, organization of mints, significance of coin-types, coins in their relation to the history of art—are amply discussed.”—Clain-Stefanelli, Numismatics, page 29. This second edition is bibliographically complex. Babelon 127–128: “still our main work of reference.” Bassoli 40–41. Clain-Stefanelli 1643*. Daehn 62. Lipsius 110.

Lacking the 27 engraved plates of coins called for throughout the second volume. Second volume with front board detached but present. Generally very good. First and only edition. No further parts issued. Haym, an Italian resident in England, intended to publish a corpus of Greek and Roman coins and antiquities in English collections. However the work was never completed.

TOMUS PRIMUS & VOLUMEN ALTERUM. Londini: Impensis Richardi Smith, 1706, and Amstelodami: Apud Rodolph. & Gerhard. Wetstenios, 1717. Two volumes. Folio [46 by 30.5 cm], contemporary brown full calf, boards intricately paneled in blind, with mottled borders and center panels; edges decorated in gilt; spines with seven raised bands, ruled, lettered and lavishly decorated in gilt; page edges speckled in red. (48), 726, (42); (8), xxviii, 656, (52) pages; finely engraved allegorical title in the first volume; titles printed in red and black; superbly engraved frontispiece portrait of the author; superbly engraved portrait of George Augustus, Prince of Wales; finely engraved dedication vignette in the second volume; woodcut initials and tailpieces; coin engravings in the text. Bindings remarkably well-preserved and expertly rebacked. A fine set. An exceptional set of the third, last, and best, edition of this landmark work. Born as an unillustrated quarto in 1664, a greatly expanded and illustrated if still rather modest edition in two parts appeared in 1671. Its apotheosis here, in two oversize folio volumes, was most handsomely executed and, in the present set, bound in raiment worthy of it. Clain-Stefanelli (Numismatics—An Ancient Science) page 24: “one of the most significant names in the field of numismatics in the 17th century [was] Ezechiel Spanheim… His encyclopedic knowledge in history, art, geography, art history—all based on a full mastery of the ancient authors—made him one of the prominent numismatists of his day. His chief publication Dissertatio de praestantia et usu numismatum antiquorum (1664 [first edition]) must certainly be considered the work of a master” Babelon 105: “Ezechiel Spanheim (b. 1629 † 1710) was part of that exceptional group of scholars who came together at Rome under the reign of Queen Christina.” Bassoli 30: “that great work of Ezechiel Spanheim… represent[s] the seventeenth century ‘peak’ of classical numismatics. Spanheim meticulously (and not without digressions) records every image and inscription shown on ancient coins that could be made out.” Hirsch 122. Kress S.2350. Lipsius 376. Ex T.

Clain-Stefanelli 1929*. Daehn 2045. Grierson 57. Kroh 10: “The most striking thing about this collection is the superb quality and style of the 3,152 coins (of which 2,520 are Greek). It remains to this day one of the finest collections ever formed by an individual and all coins are illustrated on 164 plates. Dispersed throughout the trade in the 1940’s and 1950’s, many of the finest items to appear in recent sales are ‘Jameson’ coins.”

Head, Barclay V. HISTORIA NUMORUM: A MANUAL OF GREEK NUMISMATICS. Oxford, 1887. First edition. 4to, original brown quarter morocco, gilt; top page edges gilt. lxxix, (1), 807, (1) pages; 400 text illustrations; tables; 5 plates. Near fine. The first edition of this landmark work. Though revised editions of numismatic books are usually preferred, sometimes it pays to consult the earlier editions. In the revised and enlarged 1911 edition of Historia Numorum, the author himself allowed that “(i)t is possible that, among those who are familiar only in a general way with the old edition of this work, there may be some who, on comparing with it the present revised edition, will, at first sight, be inclined to think that some portions of what has been omitted were of greater interest than what has been added.” A 1927 Spink catalogue emphasized that aspect of the 1887 work: “Some portions of the first edition of very great interest were omitted from the second, and this fact added to the usefulness of the work in itself makes a copy of that edition well worth acquiring especially by the young collector.” Ex Harry W. Bass, Jr., with his bookplate. Clain-Stefanelli 1832*, citing the second edition. Daehn 52.
