Bluma Lee Popkin Trell was an American
In 1973 Trell participated in a protest against the Metropolitan Museum's attempt to sell 6,000 ancient coins that it had lent the American Numismatic Society. A photograph of Trell playing the cello with the NYU Student Orchestra at the Society during the protest appeared in the New York Times and the New York Post which generated a lot of publicity and likely contributed to the success of the protest.[1]
In 1977, Trell published Coins and Their Cities: Architecture on the Ancient Coins of Greece, Rome and Palestine, along with renowned British Museum authority Martin Price.[3]
