MASTERPIECES OF
CLASSICAL ART
by Dyfri Williams
Worth £20.
280 colour illustrations.
‘Well structured and illustrated books such as Dyfri Williams’
Masterpieces of Classical Art allow the reader to understand and
appreciate an object ... and gain fresh perspectives that can lead
to a greater appreciation of ancient culture. Many well known
and commonly photographed objects in the British Museum
collection, such as the Parthenon Marbles, are included, but,
so too are less obvious pieces, specially photographed for this
volume. Many close-up shots provide considerably greater
detail than can be seen in a display case, so books like this
one appeal to both casual visitors and specialists.’ Murray Eiland,
