154 pages; Very Good Plus condition. Very light front hinge crease. No spine creases. Lightly shelf rubbed to edges. Very small neat written name top inside cover. Solid, clean. First published in 1948. This extraordinary fine analysis of Greek Art covers the period from 1650 B. C. To 850 A. D. As a important revaluation of the subject, this volume demonstrates convincingly that the most famous arts of ancient Greece, like Pheidias, were primarily celebrated not as sculptures, but as workers in gold and ivory, or as chasers and engravers. The author's survey is supplemeted by over two hundred exciting illustrations, including coins, gems, bronzes, sculpture and paintings. Most of these objects have never been reproduced. 154 pages (+ illustrations - 108 Plates. )
