Hamilton - Pair of Engravings of a Painting from a Grecian Vase
This originally hand-colored folio engraving is from Pierre Francois Hughues d'Hancarville's work Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman Antiquities from the Cabinet of the Hon. William Hamilton. The work was published in Naples by Francesco Morelli between 1766 and 1767. This first edition publication was limited to 500 copies.
The engravings illustrate Sir William Hamilton's first collection of ancient vases. The work is of particular importance in the development of neo-classical designs for pottery and porcelain, including Wedgwood.
Paper Size ~ 13 3/4" by 18 1/2"
