Background:
These detailed prints are from the First Edition of the work by the English engraver Henry
Moses (1782?-1870). Included in the folio are Vases, Altars, Patera (vessels holding
a libation drank during sacrifice ceremonies), Candelabra and other items from antiquity
found in the public and private collections of European museums, individuals as well as
himself.
The primary focus of the prints on this page are
antique Vases of which Moses writes "Few remains of antiquity have excited more
interest than vases. The variety and the elegance of their forms, the singularity of
their designs, the beauty of the compositions with which they are adorned, and the
important instruction which the subjects of these pictures convey, have conspired to
render them particularly attractive."
