Chapman, Henry. PART II: CATALOGUE OF THE MAGNIFICENT SPECIMENS OF EUROPEAN COINS IN GOLD, SILVER AND COPPER, THE PROPERTY OF CLARENCE S. BEMENT, ESQ., PHILADELPHIA. New York: Anderson Galleries, June 26-27, 1918. 4to, original white cloth-backed gilt-printed boards. iv, (2), 93, (3), (8) pages; 999 lots; 4 fine photographic plates bound throughout the catalogue (see comments); original printed prices realized list bound in. Covers somewhat discolored; very good or better. Adams 35, with some plates. Rated A- overall: "Superb English gold and silver. Extensive European, middle ages to 19th century. 1895 gold proof set." A very rare variant of the hardbound post-sale catalogue, deliberately issued with only four of the nine photographic plates usually encountered, interspersed in the text rather than bound together at the end as usual. A curious production. In the preface, Chapman notes that "every piece is a gem of its kind." The plates depict British and Continental rarities, including multiple thalers. Clain-Stefanelli 7958. Davis 208. Ex I. Snyderman with his circular ink stamp on the front flyleaf and elsewhere; ex Kolbe Sale 98, lot 94; ex Cardinal Collection Library.
