Museum of antiquity; a description of ancient life: the employments, amusements, customs and habits, the cities, palaces, monuments and tombs, the literature and fine arts of 3,000 years ago
A popular American compendium of ancient life by Levi W. Yaggy and T. L. Haines, published in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1883 for general household readers. Wood engravings mix classical sculpture heads, crowded scenes of banquets and daily life, and symmetrical palmette headpieces with inset medallions of animals and Egyptian masks, useful as ornament, spot art, and antique figure reference.
