ESCARD, JEAN. Les Pierres Précieuses. 24 plates, some in color; text illustrations. 4to, 3/4 vellum with morocco gilt spine labels, peeling. Paris, 1914
- Notes: first edition of what was in its day, the "largest and most complete general work on gemstones and still very useful [and] now quite scarce"--Sinkankas 1945. Remarkable for its massive bibliography which even today is unmatched in most gemological publications.
