Marked Handexemplar and signed by Hirsch on the front cover. The sale offered the collection of Prof. Kopf, of Rome. Bindings vary from near fine to heavily worn, with most being very good or so. Contents generally very good or better. An extraordinary opportunity to acquire the personal copies of the first twelve catalogues issued by one of the foremost numismatists of his age. These catalogues derive from the library of Tom Virzi, who had received them directly from Hirsch. From Virzi, they passed to Bob Myers, from whose library Herb Kreindler acquired them several years ago. Jacob Hirsch (1874–1955) began his career by selling material from the estate of his uncle, Heinrich Hirsch, who had been in the coin business prior to his death in 1886. He quickly earned a reputation for his scholarly cataloguing and extraordinary memory, leading to his assuming at a rather young age a prominent place in the numismatic trade in early 20th-century Europe. The famous series of Ars Classica sales, which began to be issued in 1921 under the Naville et Cie. imprimatur, cemented Hirsch’s reputation for fine cataloguing and rigorous scholarship—a reputation he began to acquire with the present catalogues. These catalogues are the material records of Hirsch’s origins and remain important for provenance research as well. All of these early Hirsch sales are scarce, and several are very rare. These particular copies are of unparalleled importance and are a highlight of the Kreindler library.

Very good or better. The first catalogue is rare and still very important. According to the introduction: “La collection d’Amécourt est célèbre entre toutes, aucune collection particulière ne peut lui être comparée, et seuls les grands musées nationaux peuvent rivaliser avec elle, encore sommes-nous persuadés que cette comparaison serait généralement à son avantage; formée dans un goût plus moderne, elle les surpasserait par l’état de conservation et le style… Toutes ces belles médailles vont passer aux enchères publiques, ce sera la vente la plus importante du siècle; une semblable réunion ne se retrovera probablement jamais.” Babelon 227 (first catalogue).

Spring 595: “As far as we know these are the first photographic plates to appear in an ancient coin catalogue.” Spring’s comment seems to ignore as many as five earlier U.S. sales including at least one plate devoted to ancient coins, but it is true that those sales were less important than the current catalogue.

The first 21 volumes of the scarce hardcover edition of this encyclopedic series of Numismatic American History auction sale catalogues, documenting the fabled collection assembled by John Jay Ford, Jr. The production values exhibited by the catalogues themselves are exceeded only by the depth of numismatic scholarship contained therein.

The first 21 sales were held between 2003 and 2007 and these hardcovers were produced at that time.

A World War I Military Medal Group awarded to 798 Private J.A. Joslin, Princess Patricia`s Canadian Light Infantry, to include the Military Medal, the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal, together with regimental cap badge and other badges. (Qty) The PPCLI was raised on the initiative of Captain Andrew Hamilton Gault in August 1914, to participate in the Canadian war effort for the First World War. It was the first Canadian infantry unit to enter the theatre of operations, arriving in France in December 1914. Private Joslin enlisted in August 1914 as one of the original enlisted soldiers and after being wounded in October 1916, he was later that month awarded the Military Medal with the following citation - `As a stretcher bearer this man has always shown the greatest courage and coolness both in dressing cases under heavy fire on several occasions and caring for them`.
A gilded gesso framed Turneresque Oil painting on Oak panel, 7 5/16'' x 10'' depicting the Chateau de Blois in the Loire valley, the chateau prominent above a deep chasm with figures, some carrying standards near a Greek style temple amidst dense foliage in the gloom, in the sky over the chasm appear to be the makings of a white cloaked figure. The work is unusual in that the paint has in some areas been levelled with the finger or thumb of the artist and finger or thumb prints are clearly evident in those areas. The frame bears a label ''TURNER-J.M.W. 1775-1851''. Verso are two gummed collection labels ''X4963'' and a typewritten label ''Goodrich Court....Ross, Nr. Monmouth. Gallery Dispersal August 1946. Turner Joseph Mallord William. Born 1775....died 1851. Elected Royal Academy 1802.....most of his pictures were bequeathed to the nation and are now in the National Art Gallery.'' In the Goodrich Court sale of 1946, the picture was catalogued under a heading ''J.M.W. Turner'' and was Lot ''731 Landscape with city and figures, panel 8 in x 10 in (damaged)''. It is thought that the painting was described as damaged as it included very dark areas that on first sight appear to be burnt. Under powerful lighting, this is clearly not the case, the painting appears to all intents and purposes undamaged. It is certainly of considerable age, the frame having rebated cross-braces to the corners visible verso. It may well date from the era of Turner's painting tour of the Loire valley circa 1820-30's.
