J.D. Beazley's The Lewes House Collection of Ancient Gems (1920)
was the first publication of engraved gems in what might be called
the modern manner; indeed in many respects it remains a model few
have even approached since and it is of an academic quality which
is hard to match today. It is re-published here, with Beazley's
descriptions and commentary, with updated references, and with
enlarged photographs of impressions to demonstrate their quality.
The two main categories of gems are (very broadly) cameos and
intaglios of Greek, Cretan, Phoenician, Roman and Etruscan
provenance. The additional material includes Mary B. Comstock's
compilation of lists of additional references, and Cornelius C.
Vermeule has added an appreciation of the collector.
