Wallis, Henry, 1830-1916 · 1900 · London : Printed by Taylor and Francis] · 1 picture

Egyptian ceramic art by Henry Wallis, published in London in 1900, is a scholarly survey of ancient Egyptian pottery, with colour plates and text illustrations aimed at students and collectors of antiquities. The single picture is a fine line engraving of a footed goblet whose bowl is carved with bands of animals, including a deer or antelope, and plant or leaf forms, suggesting a designer could draw on tightly ordered decorative friezes and the stemmed cup silhouette.
