Description: | MANU MAWE,John [1800-1829?] 149 Strand, London [England] Very nice little set, originally of 103 tiny specimens, mostly < 2x1cm, in round pink card trays. The set is largely complete, and in very good condition. An accompanying small booklet lists the contents, with the title page: "Catalogue of A Collection of Minerals Sold by John Mawe 149 Strand and Museum Cheltenham" Later writing in pencil "£2/2". The rear cover is made of card, with the date "May 1822" visible, so the set must have been produced between this date, and 1829 when John Mawe died. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | MINERALOGY : HISTORICAL : MINERALS DEALER : RADIOACTIVE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
