ASPECTS OF DEATH IN ART AND EPIGRAM, ILLUSTRATED ESPECIALLY BY MEDALS, ENGRAVED GEMS, JEWELS, IVORIES, ANTIQUE POTTERY, &C.

London: Unwin & Quaritch, 1914. Second edition, revised and much enlarged. 8vo, original maroon cloth, gilt, with embossed gilt depiction of a medal on the front cover. xxviii, 461, (1) pages; frontispiece and 123 other illustrations. Very good or better. Item #7853

The revised edition, and a vast expansion over the 160 pages of the first. An extraordinary piece of scholarly research with substantial numismatic content (pages 220–333 are devoted to coins, medals and tokens exclusively and pages 334–444 to engraved gems, finger-rings, jewels, etc.). Scarce, substantially more so than the 1910 first edition.
