Cloth over bevelled boards, gilt cover-title, large 4to 41 cm, xxxii, 265 pp, 112 plates with guard sheets. Uncommon. The post-exhibition illustrated catalogue of the famous 1903 exhibition. From a 1952 editorial in the Burlington Magazine : " a few [of the Club's exhibitions] have become legendary: for example.Ancient Greek Art (1903) for which Mrs Arthur Strong was largely responsible.". From the preface: "The present Exhibition has been planned to illustrate the history and the range of Greek art from the close of the sixth century B.C., when it may he said to have assumed its leading characteristics, down to the Augustan age, when, according to current opinion, it finally passed into the service of Rome.Presumably in some years from now, we shall be able to differentiate precisely between four classes of work : (1) Made In Greece proper and for Greece. (2) Made in Greece for foreign export (3) Made abroad by Greek artists. (4) Made in foreign schools, but under Greek influence. Meanwhile, in an exhibition which aims at showing the range not only of Greek work but of Greek influence, it has been thought welI to illustrate both - as far as space permits - in their complexity and infinite variety. The Exhibition is fairly representative, though on a necessarily restricted scale, of Greek sculpture, bronzes, terra-cottas, vases, gems and coins." Bookplate of John R. Menzies on front pastedown endpaper, cloth over front board slightly bubbled, covers slightly rubbed and spine faded with minor marks, a little minor spotting otherwise a Very Good indeed copy, partly unopened.
