About This Item
David & Charles, Newton Abbot, UK - 1975 hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾" (14½cms x 22½cms), with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, and barcode. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket Here is shocking story of how Greece was despoiled of much of her treasures in the early nineteenth century - the treasures that are now priceless exhibits in the great museums of the world. Lord Elgin acquired the famous marbles that bear his name, but he was not the only one to take part in a kind of free-for-all, not so far removed from modern vandalism. The author writes from the protagonists' own recollections and confessions, set against the exotic background of Turkish-dominated Greece. Book includes 24 illustrations and maps.
