Photographs of the Cesnola Collection of Cyprus Antiquities, 1900
Scope and Contents
A collection of loose photographs, mounted on card, measuring approximately 210 x 160 mm. The prints are uncaptioned although notations regarding the style of pieces have been added in pencil. Some attempt has been made to assign the pieces photographed to a particular style, but it should be emphasised that these attributions are those of a layman and make no claim to exactitude. Plates 33-43, mainly photographs of vases, have not been identified, although probably easily recognisable to a specialist.
