Greek Sculpture and Painting: To the End of the Hellenistic PeriodThis is a reprint of the book first issued in 1932, which was composed of the relevant chapters in the Cambridge Ancient History and illustrated with over two hundred pictures. When it was first reprinted in 1966, there were no substantial alterations, but the authors explained the relevant changes of view in some brief notes, revised the bibliography and included several new photographs in the place of those originally used. |
