Ancient pottery from the ancient pagan tombs and Christian cemeteries in the islands of Malta
An 1899 Maltese government publication by archaeologist A. A. Caruana, issued under Governor Sir Arthur Freemantle, cataloguing ancient pottery from pagan tombs and Christian cemeteries in Malta for scholars and collectors. The plates are fine sepia-toned line drawings of vessels arranged in grids on pale paper, showing amphorae, jugs, flasks and bowls in varied silhouettes, with a designer able to draw on their tidy catalogue layout, restrained tonal palette and sturdy vessel shapes.
