| Scope and Content | Card base with four black and white photographs and one illustration attached, labelled with pasted letters b, a, c, e, d. The number 375 is pasted in the lower left corner. "Sculpture F.W. Hasluck A.J.B.Wace" is written in ink in the lower right corner. Some the of the images have beside them later annotations in pencil giving bibliographic references. The original description in the catalogue reads: "a. Archaic relief of Herakles, found near Cyzicus. Constantinople Museum, late sixth century. b. Funerary relief, from Angelona in Laconia: c. 470 B.C. A simple and dignified composition, some of the details are rather crude, the right hand is clumsy and the feet very long and flat (Photograph by A.J.B. Wace). c. Mourning youth, a funerary relief from Geraki in Laconia, sketchy in execution and not too well drawn, but full of feeling. d. Seated Hellenistic goddess, perhaps Kore Soteira, who was worshipped at Cyzicus, as her footstool is decorated with pomegranate. Found near Cyzicus. e. Marble statue base at Cyzicus. Between vertical tridents are dolphins and half-galleys. There are two inscriptions: the longer in prose appears in the drawing, a shorter one in verse is on the other side. Both commemorate the clearing of 'the long choked channels and lagoon,' probably between Cyzicus and the mainland, by Queen Antonia Tryphaena, descended through her mother from Mark Antony. (Photographs (a,c,d,e) by F.W.Hasluck)." |
