A South African photographer of exceptional technical skill, Gerald Hoberman devoted years to developing methods for the close-range photography of coins that would finally do justice to their sculptural complexity. The results, gathered in this volume, remain the benchmark against which coin photography is judged.
The 329 full-colour plates span the history of coinage from ancient Greece through to the nineteenth century, presenting the coins of Spink & Son's collection in enlargements that reveal details invisible to the naked eye. The accompanying text provides a lucid introduction to numismatics and a detailed account of the photographic techniques employed.
This special collector's edition, hand bound in full Niger morocco and limited to 250 copies, was produced for the most discerning collectors of the work.
Fine throughout. A beautiful copy free from notable imperfections, well preserved and presenting as new.
