Henry Hunter Calvert died at his family house at Cannakale 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.
