BOOKS ASHMOLEAN MUSEUM - 'ANTIQUITIES FROM EUROPE AND THE NEAR EAST IN THE COLLECTION OF THE LORD MCALPINE OF WESTGREEN' Published Oxford, 1987 AD Edited by Arthur MacGregor, a detailed description of the collection [142pp., figs. throughout], illustrated card wraps. 865 grams, 30 x 21cm (12" x 8 1/4"). Fine condition. [No Reserve] Provenance Ex Sir Richard Ground (1949-2014) Library, Derbyshire, UK. Footnotes The eminent lawyer Sir Richard Ground, OBE (1949 - 2014), a graduate of Lincoln College Oxford, was called to the bar at Gray's Inn in 1975. After a period spent specialising in media law, he was, in 1983, appointed Crown Counsel in the Cayman Islands, a position which he held until 1987 when he assumed the role of Attorney General. He served as Chief Justice of the Turks and Caicos Islands from 1998 to 2004, and then as Chief Justice of Bermuda until his retirement in 2012. Highly regarded in legal circles for his decisiveness and impeccable integrity, he was awarded the OBE in 1991 in recognition of his services to the Cayman Islands, and was made a Knight Bachelor in 2012 for services to justice in Bermuda. He had a passion for the natural world and worked alongside his wife, fellow lawyer Lady Ground, to found the National Trust for the Cayman Islands, as well as publishing several volumes of wildlife photography. Sir Richard was a keen and knowledgable collector of both coins and ancient weaponry. His collection of Roman, Byzantine, English, and European coins fetched exceptional prices when sold by Spink in September 2014. It is with pride that we are able to offer his collection of Bronze Age weaponry for auction.
