[Rarebooks] fs: Ancient Arts, Naples Museum -1889

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

Monaco, Domenico. SPECIMENS FROM THE NAPLES MUSEUM.

Naples; 1889.

This survey of ancient Roman arts in the Naples Museum, almost all of them 
from Pompeii or Herculaneum, includes silver and glass, domestic metalware 
of all types and descriptions, fancy and household, lighting devices, 
cameos and jewelry, dress and hair ornaments, as well as ceramics, 
furniture, statuary, wall paintings and sculpture.

Monaco was the Curator of the Museum, and notes-

            "this edition has been carefully revised for me by
             Mr. Neville Rolfe, who so kindly prepared the last
             English Edition of my Handbook to the Museum,
             and at his suggestion I have inserted from the best
             authorities a summary of the various legends and
             historical facts connected with the plates, which cannot
             but make the work instructive as well as entertaining".

Indeed.

Hardcover. 9"x12", 31 pages of letterpress text by E. Neville Rolfe, plus 
168 engraved plates. Covers with some wear and soil, text pages very 
brittle and somewhat browned; pp.19/20 with a closed tear; several plates 
with moderate foxing, mostly only light foxing. [05191] $200.00
