Where can one find the Devonshire
collection ?
Isegrim cites, for example "
BMC 19 S204,220(1) / SLG DEVONSHIRE 768" (SLG being the
German abbreviation for "Sammlung" =
collection.
The
BMC volumes do not include a Bibliography. Searching
Isegrim's Biblio - neither in my
Isegrim xls,
nor in the GCAM version - gives any information about it. A
search gives me two Sotheby sales of the Duke of Devonshire's
collection in March 1844, but the lot numbers do not necessarily correspond to any
Isegrim's "Devonshire" entries, plus there is the fact that the Sotheby
auction gives practically no details of the coins.
Is there a real
SNG Devonshire or something similar ?
