Reviews
This edited volume, handsomely produced, comprises twelve chapters by ten contributors, including four from the editors. Its subject is the enduring practice, stretching back to the 1500s, of illustrating Greek vases... anyone who enjoys Greek vases - as this reviewer does - is likely to find pleasure and insight in both the text and the many illuminating illustrations. * Tony Spawforth, Classics for All *
