[Victoria, B.C.]: Alan Klenman. Very Good. 1983. First Edition. Paperback. 0969075510 . "To those whose collecting stops when a coin or medal reposes in their album, [this book will ] simply be a catalogue of medallic portraits. To those however, who use the medals as a key to history and human achievement, it will open doors to a wealth of fascinating knowledge of a time when men circumnavigated the world in ships we would fear to board for the shortest of journeys; of a time when sea scurvy could decimate an entire ship's company in a matter of a few weeks, a time when ships foundered on ill-charted reefs and shoals.
