Wallis, Henry, 1830-1916 · 1907 · London: B. Quaritch · 37 pictures

A scholarly monograph by Henry Wallis, published in London by B. Quaritch in 1907, documenting Byzantine pottery fragments recently excavated at Constantinople for a readership of archaeologists and collectors. The plates show sherds drawn in sepia line with stippled shading, many carrying bands of circles, rosettes, and interlaced geometric patterns that suggest ready-made motifs for tile, surface pattern, and ornamental border work.

Pottery, Byzantine
