Ancient Greece; a sketch of its art, literature & philosophy viewed in connexion with its external history from earliest times to the age of Alexander the Great

Cotterill, H. B. (Henry Bernard), b. 1846 · 1913 · New York, Frederick A. Stokes Company · 39 pictures

Cotterill's 1913 survey Ancient Greece, published in New York by Frederick A. Stokes, is a general illustrated account of Greek art, literature and philosophy written for readers in the English-speaking world. Its plates show Greek coins with heads and horsemen, a frieze of riders and figures from the Parthenon, painted vases with bands of ornament, and a statue pair of the Tyrannicides. Designers could draw on the compact coin medallions and the crowded horizontal frieze compositions for classical borders and layouts.
