Abstract
The library of Lucien de Hirsch (1856-1887) is rich of a remarkable set of coin sale catalogues, which proves to be of great interest for those who want to study the coin market around the mid nineteenth century. Most of them edited by the firm Sotheby’s, these 400 catalogues are all fully annotated with indications of realized prices as well as ownership (c. 900 entries). Covering the years 1833 to 1869, these “ephemera” belonged first to Benjamin Nightingale (1806-1862), then to Charles Richard Taylor (-1874) before to be acquired by the young baron Lucien de Hirsch, for being given in 1899 to the Royal Library of Belgium.
