This catalog of the collection is considered one the first archeological texts and one of the most important works on classical art. Lorenz Beger dealt with the gems at the beginning of his work, which he arranged according to gods and heroes. The subsequent coins are divided into Greek kings, cities and heroes. The second volume contains the imperial and consular coins; in the third, Beger published coins and gems, statues and busts, but also objects such as lamps, vases, urns and sacrificial implements A stunning engraved page...nice detail...but with over 300 years of ageSize: Large, approximately 10" X 15" Condition: Excellent - Very Good - Good - Fair - Poor (but of historical interest) << Click Here to See Other Prints >> Important: P/H is combined on multiple items that can be mailed together.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
