Inhaltsangabe

Henry Hunter Calvert died at his family house at Çannakale in 1880 a few months after escaping from the rioting in Alexandria where he was British consul. The consulate was sacked and his collections destroyed. He had however sent an annotated list of his Greek amphora stamps to the British Museum, presumably to Charles Newton, with whom he and his brother Frank had frequent correspondence. This list was forgotten until the present writer &;found&; it in a box-file in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities (its title at the time). Henry Hunter Calvert&;s Collection of Amphora Stamps and that of Sidney Smith Saunders publicly presents that material.
