The Xanthian marbles : their acquisition, and transmission to England
The Xanthian Marbles is an 1843 London book by the archaeologist Sir Charles Fellows, published by John Murray, recording how Lycian sculptures from Xanthos were acquired and shipped to England. Its engravings are fine line drawings of landscapes with stratified rock, twisted trees and ruined architecture, plus a crisp outline of a carved winged lion with a bird-headed figure, useful to a designer for pen-and-ink landscape hatching and classical animal motifs.
