Pottery and porcelain, from early times down to the Philadelphia exhibition of 1876
A 19th-century survey of ceramic history by Charles Wyllys Elliott, published in New York by D. Appleton in 1878 for American collectors and museum-goers following the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. Its 170 wood engravings isolate single vessels against blank grounds \u2014 amphorae, ewers, lidded urns, kraters \u2014 modelled in fine parallel hatching, with figure friezes, scrollwork and relief ornament; useful as clean silhouettes, object cut-outs and hatching texture, plus pages of potters' marks.
