Priced throughout in pencil. Fine. A handsomely bound copy of this scarce catalogue still very important. According to the introduction translated: “The Amécourt collection is renowned above all others; no private collection can compare to it and only the great national museums can rival it yet we are convinced that this comparison would generally be to its advantage; formed with a more modern sensibility it surpasses them in terms of condition and style. All these beautiful coins will be offered at public auction; it will be the most important sale of the century; such a collection will probably never be assembled again.†Babelon 227.
