[Rarebooks] FS: Ivory and the Elephant -1916 Kunz Classic

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “Ivory and the Elephant in Art, in Archeology, and in Science”

By George Frederick Kunz.
Published by Doubleday, Page and Company in 1916.

DISCUSSION: One of Kunz's grandest books, and still an important
reference, touching on all aspects of collection, commerce and art.
Sinkankas notes this as "a complex, large work, by far the best yet
written on the subject... The scarcest of Kunz's major works, with
information that does not appear elsewhere in the gemological literature."

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 7"x10.5", 525 pages, numerous black & white plates
and illustrations, and folding plates and charts. Publisher's tan cloth
with pasted-on cover illustrations.

CONDITION NOTES: The pasted-on spine illustrated label is largely
perished, and the covers have some minor soil, but otherwise a clean,
tight, partially unopened copy; very nice.

PRICE:  $650 -
