DORDOGNE. Edouard GALY (Périgueux 1814-1887),... - Lot 48 - Conan Belleville Hôtel d'Ainay
DORDOGNE. Edouard GALY (Périgueux 1814-1887), president of the Historical and Archaeological Society of Périgord, mayor of Périgueux, director of the Museum of Périgord. 2 L.A.S. to Alexis de Gourgues. 4 pp. in-8. Périgueux, 1866-1873. On the Museum of the Dordogne. "I know of no other Gallic gold statere, with the type of the head of Apol. and the bige, found in our province, than the one which formed part of the collection of Auteville and which I bought with all this collection, about fifteen years ago. This piece of Arverne manufacture is an electrum, it was found, as M. de Taillefer says, near the castle of Lardimalie [] ". All the collections of their fellow Perigordians were dispersed, causing "a great loss for our local history. During their lifetime, De Mourcin, Jouannet, Lapoujade, etc., along with the famous Audierne, did not give a stitch to our museum or anything of archaeological interest and value; the real founder and benefactor of the Dordogne museum was M. Wlgrin de Taillefer [] ".
