History of ancient pottery, Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman
A scholarly survey of ancient pottery from Egypt, Assyria, Greece, Etruria and Rome, written by the Egyptologist Samuel Birch and published in London by John Murray in 1873 for students and collectors of antiquities. Its pictures are line engravings of figurines, a painted vase scene and a painted frieze of warriors, showing how a designer might render classical forms and figure silhouettes in simple, precise outline.
