Introductory studies in Greek art

Harrison, Jane Ellen, 1850-1928 · 1885 · London, T.F. Unwin · 10 pictures

Introductory studies in Greek art is a late nineteenth-century survey by classical scholar Jane Ellen Harrison, published in London by T.F. Unwin in 1885 for students and general readers of Greek art. Its plates are halftone reproductions of Greek sculpture, relief, and vase painting, several printed sideways on the page. A designer might take from them the stylised frontal figures, shallow relief composition, and crowded narrative friezes of archaic Greek work.
