add to cart   close window

The article focuses on two books on Greek vases. The books are: "A Hand book of Attic Red-Figured Vases," vol. 2, by the author Joseph Clark Hoppin; and "A Handbook of Greek Vase Painting" by the author Mary A. B. Herford. The appearance of the second volume of Hoppin's handbook of red-figured Attic vases completes one of the most valuable works undertaken of late in the field of Greek ceramics. It forms a worthy monument of recent archeological research in Greek vase painting. Herford's handbook is a work of a different character. The author has described Greek pottery from its beginnings to its decline, with special emphasis on the more important styles and with descriptions of the shapes and techniques of Athenian vases.
