Description of The Science of Gems, Jewels, Coins and Medals, Ancient and Modern
The Irish physician and medical teacher Archibald Billing (1791-1881) was also an amateur artist and antiquarian. In 1867, he published this work on gemmology, tracing the history of carving in miniature back to the seal-stones of the Egyptians and Assyrians, and giving a biography of the engraver Benedetto Pistrucci.
