A description of the collection of ancient terracottas in the British Museum; with engravings
A catalogue of the British Museum's ancient terracotta collection, published in London in 1810 by the museum's Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities for scholars and collectors. Its engraved plates show relief panels with mythological and ceremonial figures, lions, winged spirits and a theatrical mask in a classical manner. A designer might take from them the Greek-style friezes, plant scrolls and winged creatures that suit decorative borders, panels and ornament.
