About This Item
Yale University Press / Humphrey Milford / Oxford University Press. Very Good- with no dust jacket. 1920. Hardcover. Chipping and small tears to head of spine. Darkening to boards. Gift inscription to inner cover "CGB [Cedric Boulter] from JLC". ; Includes 16 plates. A careful and detailed study of the beauty and grace of ancient Greek vases. ; 161 pages; 1920. When the discovery was made that the design forms of the Greek vase were strictly dynamic and it became apparent that an analysis of a sufficient number of vase examples would be equivalent to the recovery of the technical methods of Greek designers of the classic age, William Sergeant Kendall, Dean of the Yale School of the Fine Arts, immediately recognized its importance and offered his personal service and that of the University to help in the arduous task of gathering reliable material for a volume. Handsomely illustrated. .
