Oversized catalog illustrating all branches of Greek art. Includes many engraved gems from major English collections, now mostly dispersed. The parts deal with sculpture & bronzes, terra-cottas, Greek vases, Greek coins, and part 5, p 157–255 on cameos and intaglios and seems to be largely from the hand of Charles Newton-Robinson and is both a large and important record of the many fine gems in the exhibition. Also in the exhibition was a fine engraved agate vase (Hamilton vase) which merited several pages of description. Altogether 450 engraved gems were exhibited.
