Product Information

Excerpt from Greek Sculpture The contents of the present volume of the Catalogue Ge'ne'ml are arranged in a way which requires a word of explanation. For various reasons it was t possible to obtain a complete survey of the whole material before proceeding to catalogue it. Many of the less important objects were stored away in the magazines of the old palace at Ghizeh, where they had an excellent chance of eluding observation. During the last two years again the collection has been in a state of ux new objects have been constantly coming 'in from excavations and acci dental while part of the older material has been from time to time transferred to the Museum of Alexandria. Instead, therefore, of publishing the text in the rather haphazard order in which it was necessarily written I have rearranged it to a certain extent, so that for instance the archaic statuettes and the funerary stelae will be found gathered together in two compact groups instead of being incongruously scattered about. The advantage of this is obvious. The drawback is that the numbers assigned to the objects do t follow each other in the text in their natural order hence it has been necessary to draw up an index (i, p. 75) giving the page on which each number occurs. The existence of this index is the practical point to which I wish to call attention. The photographs from which the plates have been prepared are almost wholly the work of Brugsch Bey. As the objects catalogued vary greatly in size, the illustrations are naturally t on a uniform scale. For practical reasons the arrangement of the plates does t coincide throughout with the order of the text; but that is t a matter that will cause any inconvenience. The statues and stelae that are t illustrated are few and unimportant, being for the most part replicas of well-kwn types.
