La nécropole de Myrina : recherches archéologiques exécutées au nom et aux frais de l'École française d'Athènes

Pottier, Edmond, 1855-1934 · 1887 · Paris : E. Thorin · 17 pictures

A late nineteenth-century archaeological monograph by Edmond Pottier, published in Paris in 1887 by E. Thorin, recording excavations for the French School at Athens of the Greek necropolis of Myrina. Its plates are photographic reproductions of terracotta figurines from the tombs, shown as isolated figures on plain grounds. A designer could draw on their clay-toned, classical draped forms, winged putti and small statuettes as reference for antique sculpture.
