Lot description Show orginal version
Reference: BNP 1862

A set of both volumes, in a common binding, of the first edition of Tadeusz Czacki's work "On Lithuanian and Polish Laws", one part of which is the author's pioneering work "On Polish and Lithuanian Coinage".

This work can be boldly called a "milestone" of Polish numismatics. In practice, it was the first to systematize and show a wide audience how Polish coins looked and changed over the centuries. It probably inspired many to collect old money and create their own collections, as well as to conduct research and publish more publications. Thus, old coins began to increasingly find their way into collections instead of the jewelry melting pot.

"On Polish and Lithuanian Coinage" is published in this work on pages 111-178 of Volume I, behind which, on additional pages (numbered I-XXVII), we find Lectures with descriptions of coins, and further their images placed on Lithographic Tables I-XIII.

Original edition of 1800-1801, complete.

Provenance: Ex Libris K. Reychman; Maxymilian Goldstein. Seal of the Klewańska School and another, but illegible rectangular seal with an inscribed number.

Bound in full leather, period, after a well done restoration, requiring no further repairs. Binding in the characteristic early style, tightly fitted in size to the block size, without the later commonly practiced allowance. On the spine, scrolls and blind-stamped decoration (floral motif).

Preservation condition of the interior very good.

External format 215 x 184 mm, thickness up to 65 mm.
