A note from BCD: This and the next four lots illustrate all the Greek silver and gold of this amazing individual, Richard Cyril Lockett, who, as Robinson’s introduction to this volume says, built up a “general collection of the old-fashioned type, … not confined to any one district of the Greek world, yet abounding in long series and in fine coins.” Robinson goes on to say that “A special feature [of this collection] is the bronze, which will be published in a further volume, and which it is hoped may be of special interest to students”. Alas, this never happened and, which is worse, Lockett’s Greek bronzes, with very few exceptions, were sold in non-illustrated group lots in a series of Glendining auctions.
