General
N. B. For the sculptures from the archaeological site of Milet, Wace made some errors in noting down the correct museum number, out by one digit. The Louvre MA numbers are now correct for the objects depicted in the photographs.
Processing Information
78 negatives were digitally photographed in May 2022 by Amélie M. F. Deblauwe of the Digital Photography Unit, University of Cambridge for upload to the Cambridge Digital Library. The remainder of negatives in this album were too chemically degraded to retain any image whatsoever.
