Sir John Evans's Collections
 Cast bronze rein-ring (terret) inlaid with red and blue glass from Suffolk (AN1927.4615) |
Evans collected a wide range of material including: Sir John collected some material himself, some he purchased from dealers, others he acquired at auctions. However, the bulk of his collection seems to have been obtained, by gift or exchange, from the antiquaries, archaeologists and geologists worldwide with whom he corresponded. Very little of his collection has been systematically published or analysed, as yet. The scope of his collection appears from various documents including a private exhibition he held at his home in 1889 and Royal Numismatic Society receptions. Discover more about: |
