1913Catalogo Delle Monete Di Zecche Italiane Componenti La Raccolta Del Cav. Ing. Edoardo Martinori
4to, contemporary vellum-backed decorative boards; spine with red and green labels, gilt; original printed front card cover bound in. (14), 403, (5) pages; 4302 lots; 55 fine plates. Hand-priced in ink. Binding very worn and in need of repair, with final two plates present but detached. Good to very good. A very impressive catalogue. Pietro (1863–1930) and Pio (1881–1947) Santamaria joined together to form the Santamaria firm in 1898. They became one of the premier numismatic auction houses in Italy and, indeed, all of Europe, and their catalogues were admired for their accuracy as well as their high production values. Clain-Stefanelli 10248*. Grierson 308–309: “Comme ouvrage de référence le catalogue Martinori est le plus commode.” Ex Felix Schlessinger, with his Amsterdam ink stamp on the front flyleaf.
