A few pages incorporate more than one plate under the numbering system. This is a record of the ancient glass collection of Julien Greau as catalogued by the Curator of the Louvre Museum, Wilhelm Froehner and described by him. Julien Greau was one of the great collectors of the 19th century. He died in 1895. His ancient glass collection comprised some 5000 pieces of which 1000 were intact and many unique examples. Greau was keen for the collection to end up in a major museum. The bulk of the collection was bought by J. P. Morgan who bequeathed it to the Metropolitan Museum, where it arrived in 1917 and it today forms the major core of their collection. Morgan oversaw the publication of this catalogue. A minor part of the collection went to the Louvre Museum and also to French private collections. These are included in the Catalogue. This catalogue also include a selection of Roman Pottery collected by Greau. The plates contain literally thousands of specimens of ancient glass, each example exquisitely hand painted in the catalogue. They are a work of art in themselves. The examples of glass portrayed in this work are some of the most important and rarest specimens of ancient glass known. Without doubt this has to be the King of books on ancient glass and the plates alone must have taken weeks to paint. The last complete set of this work sold at public auction fetched Pounds £36,000 (Sotheby's London 14 October 2004 Lot 324)
