Abstract (en)

Publication in one volume of the catalogues of three sales (1983, 1986, and 1987) devoted to the dispersal of an old family collection of medals relating to Switzerland, sold in 1748 lots. The reviewer notes that the introduction is misleading, since it concentrates on Swiss medalists, most of whom were active abroad, while the bulk of the catalogue concerns the work of non-Swiss medalists.
