Collection of engravings from ancient vases mostly of pure Greek workmanship discovered in sepulchres in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies : but chiefly in the neighbourhood of Naples during the course of the years MDCCLXXXIX and MDCCLXXXX now in the possession of Sir Wm. Hamilton ... with remarks on each vase
This is a 1791 Naples publication by Sir William Hamilton, issued by Wm. Tischbein, presenting engravings of Greek vase paintings excavated from tombs near Naples and held in Hamilton's collection, with remarks on each vase. The plates are fine line engravings of draped figures, musicians and dancers set on plain pages with plate numbers, useful to designers studying classical figure outline and Greek decorative composition.
