The Lewis Collection of Gems and Rings in the Possession of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge: With an Introductory Essay on Ancient Gems (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Lewis Collection of Gems and Rings in the Possession of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge: With an Introductory Essay on Ancient Gems
Many of these gems were acquired by Mr Lewis in the course of his frequent journeys into Italy, Greece and more distant Oriental countries. An inscription cut on the modern ring-setting of some of the gems records the place and the date of their acquisition.
A still larger proportion of the collection was pure chased from various dealers in Smyrna, Naples, Paris and elsewhere, between whom and Mr Lewis a constant intercourse was kept up. Many times in the course of each year Mr Lewis received from these dealers parcels of gems which were sent to him on approval to select any which he might wish to buy.
