Capps, Edward | August 3, 1899 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the archaeological law for Greece. Athens has become one of the important centers in Europe for the study of art and archaeology. Hence there is a widespread conviction in Greece that she has outgrown the archaeological law of 1834, under which all her museums have been filled with priceless treasures of ancient art and history. So, the need for a law, however the effective enforcement of any provision of the law has grown increasingly difficult. The demand for Greek antiquities has become so strong and the prices in consequence so remunerative, that the business of smuggling such goods out of the country has reached enormous proportions.
