A guide to the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities in the British Museum
A museum gallery guide to the Greek and Roman collections, compiled by Arthur Hamilton Smith for the British Museum's Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities and printed by order of the Trustees in London in 1899 for visitors and students. Halftone photographs of sculpture and grave monuments sit beside line drawings that unroll vase paintings into flat friezes, giving designers black-figure and red-figure warriors, draped figures, meander and palmette borders, and silhouetted vessel profiles.
