NUMISMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS 

   Recent subscriber Nick Graver of Rochester NY, seeks 
   thoughts on two issues.  He may be reached at this email 
   address: ngraver@rochester.rr.com. 

   1. What is the earliest publication, of any sort, that contains 
       an actual numismatic photograph bound-in as an illustration? 

   2. What is the earliest genuine "book" that contains an original 
       photograph as a numismatic illustration?  This would not 
       include auction catalogs, or periodicals, journals, or magazines. 

       I am thinking of a book with text dealing with a topic, that 
       includes a photo as illustration. 

   Note, in both cases, we are not seeking engravings or other 
   artwork taken from photos, but publications with actual 
   photos mounted in the pages.  I have a slide lecture on 
   Photographic Numismatics, which includes every possible 
   example of numismatic item related to Photography, and all 
   photographic antiques that touch on the Numismatic theme. 
   Answers to # 1 & 2 will probably interest the whole group. 
   Any other suggestions  about Photographic/Numismatic items 
   will be most welcome, and may be sent directly 'off-line' to 
   spare the group."
