Archibald Billing
The Irish physician and medical teacher Archibald Billing (1791–1881) was also an amateur artist and antiquarian. In 1867, he published this work on gemmology, tracing the history of carving in miniature back to the seal-stones of the Egyptians and Assyrians, and giving a biography of the engraver Benedetto Pistrucci.
