Reference Code: GBR/3437/MCNE/3/3/1

Scope and Contents

These photographs were first published in 1932 in Chamber Tombs at Mycenae (Society of Antiquaries: Archaeologia 82), as the thirteenth and concluding instalment of the definitive report of the 1920-1923 excavations. A. J. B. Wace took many of the photographs himself. In 1923 he supervised the final photography of 1920-1923 finds at Nauplion Museum from 14th to 23rd August in the presence of P. de Jong. Many of the object photographs in the Mycenae Archive are the unedited original print, prior to the cropping of visual evidence of the necessary props of glass shelves and supporting tins from the final published image.
