Views of America
A book to honor the 250th anniversary of America, uncovering the history of the United States through works of art dating from America's revolutionary period, from the collection of the Diplomatic Reception Rooms at the US Department of State. Published as a follow-up to Rizzoli's America's Collection, with a new array of objects and original scholarship, this book celebrates the unparalleled collection of the Diplomatic Reception Rooms, one of America's most astonishing yet little-known treasures, located in the US Department of State's Harry S. Truman Building in Washington, DC, now in a more accessible price and format. The collection is home to more than 5,000 fine and decorative art objects, mostly from 1740 to 1840, which tell stories from the nation's founding era and formative decades. This survey of 100 key works brims with historical provenances: porcelain from the personal collection of George Washington, silverwork by Paul Revere, side chairs that descended through the family of Francis Scott Key, and the tambour writing table upon which the Treaty of Paris was signed and is still used for signing of diplomatic papers today. The book showcases the important paintings by John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Moran, Childe Hassam, and others, as well as examples of fine furniture and porcelain. The collection reflects the craftsmanship and spirit of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century America and forms a vital link between the past and today's endeavors to represent the American character through the art of diplomacy.

The Enigmatic Lincoln Cents of 1922
In The Enigmatic Lincoln Cents of 1922, renowned numismatic expert Tom DeLorey delves deep into the mysteries surrounding the Denver Mint's striking anomalies of the 1922-D and "No D" Cent varieties. With meticulous research, technical detail, stunning photos, and fresh discoveries, he uncovers the multiple factors behind these minting irregularities and introduces new theories that challenge conventional wisdom. Both captivating and thought-provoking, this technical masterpiece is a must-read for collectors and historians eager to unravel one of the most fascinating chapters in U.S. coinage history.For just over a century now, collectors of United States coins have been bemused, amused or just plain confused by the Lincoln cents struck at the Denver Mint in 1922. Some are perfectly normal coins with a crisp portrait of Abraham Lincoln, a strong 1922 date, and a bold D for Denver mint mark. However, some 1922 cents resemble hardened blobs of metallic goo, showing a weak, mushy portrait of Lincoln and/or nearly smooth wheat stalks on the reverse with hardly any detail. They might have indistinct or illegible obverse and/or reverse lettering, a date that is soft and blurry in various of its digits, and a mint mark that can range from slightly worn to well-worn to faint to very faint to completely missing. Some of these coins are so defective that they have become highly prized collectibles.The Enigmatic 1922 Lincoln Cent is the second title published under the new Professional Series--an essential collection for advanced collectors. Designed to elevate your expertise, this series delivers in-depth history, technical details, and precise pricing on specialized numismatic topics such as errors, varieties, and patterns. Authored by industry experts, each book in the series provides the knowledge and insight needed to take your collecting to the next level.

The French Silverware in the Calouste Gulbenkian Collection
The collection of 18th- and early-19th-century French silverware brought together by Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian is the most important of its time and one of the most significant sections of the Gulbenkian Museum's collection. These pieces constitute a unique both in diversity and quality. The collection of 18th- and early-19th-century French silverware brought together by Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian is the most important of its time and one of the most significant sections of the Gulbenkian Museum's collection. Amassed between 1900 and 1950, these pieces constitute a unique group due to their diversity and quality. The collection comprises over 150 works, including several world-class masterpieces that represent the collector's taste. The catalogue is dedicated to a selection of silver works of different typologies, such as centerpieces, tureens, salt cellars, candelabras and candlesticks, made by renowned silversmiths such as Fran癟ois-Thomas Germain, Antoine-S矇bastien Durant, Robert-Joseph Auguste and Martin-Guillaume Biennais. Despite this diversity, these works all share the characteristics that make this collection unique: quality and authenticity combined with original designs, technical expertise and distinguished provenances, with former owners including members of European aristocracy and the Russian imperial family. These works were mostly purchased in Paris, but there is also an important group of works from the Hermitage collection, acquired through negotiations made between Calouste Gulbenkian and the Soviet government between 1928 and 1930. After an initial text about Calouste Gulbenkian's passion for 18th-century French silverware, the most prominent pieces of the collection are presented in chronological order of acquisition and are accompanied by comprehensive descriptions and analyses, as well as detailed information on hallmarks, inscriptions, provenances and historical and bibliographical sources. An excellent photographic survey, carried out specifically for the purpose, illustrates the 43 catalogue entries. At the end of the publication, the reader can find a list of secondary silverware, an index of names and the group of archive documents and bibliography consulted.

Small Change in the Early Middle Ages
Coined money is a familiar part of day-to-day life, and has been for millennia in many societies. In the early Middle Ages, however, it worked rather differently. People across the former Roman Empire and beyond continued to think in terms of monetary units of account, but the supply and use of actual coin became highly uneven. Access to low-value coinage, small change, was particularly attenuated in western Europe, where gold and silver pieces predominated. This volume explores how people and societies dealt with changes to monetary systems. It looks at the experiences of different groups in society, from those who struggled with regimes that used only high value coins, to the elites who tended to benefit from those same conditions. The ten contributions to this volume consider diverse geographical areas from Byzantine Egypt to Italy, Francia, and Britain, identifying parallels and divergences among them. The chapters draw on cutting-edge archaeological and historical research to give a panorama of the latest thinking on early medieval money and coinage.
