Leake, William Martin. Catalogue of the Coins Referred to in "Notes on Syracuse" (London [1848]). Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature, Third Volume, New Series. Title page, i; 5 thick cardboard plates showing 32 Greek coins illustrated by Barclay's Process, which uses thin foil impressions of the coins, with metallic tints to match the original metal. A few of the impressions are wrinkled, and the bronzed images have discolored. A separate plate, apparently not part of the original publication, shows two additional Syracusan dekadrachms. An intriguing experiment in numismatic illustration. Maroon half leather, moiré covers, marbled end papers, gilt spine. Fair condition, plates separated from binding. ($50)
