[Rarebooks] fs: Ancient Arts from the 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
