About This Item
8vo. Each with (4) pp, one with seal and address. The English architect and archaeologist Charles Robert Cockerell (1788-1863) took part in the excavations of the Temple of Aphaea in Aegina in 1811 and he was to become an important promoter in the archaeological field. He is nowdays -as an archaeologist- perhaps most remembered for removing the reliefs from the temple of Apollo at Bassae, which are now in the British Museum. When Cockerell returned from Greece he stayed with Gell in Naples, where they planned to write a book on Pompeii together, and he visited Pompeii with both Gell and in June 1815 with Mazois, whom he had met earlier in 1815 in Rome. In these two fine letters he tries to encourage Mazois that he must continue with the publishing of his monumental work on Pompeii. Cockerell has just received the first ”livraison”. Mazois (1783-1826) was finally able to publish the first two parts of the work, while the remaining parts were published by Franz Christian Gau.
