One of 350 copies. Rare catalogue describing the splendid collection of Greek vases in the National Archaeological Museum at Athens. Published as a supplement to Collignon's 1902 catalogue, Nicole describes 1,360 specimens against 1,980 in the previous one. In addition to Attic black and red figure vases, it comprises many varieties of pottery previously unrepresented, chiefly from the Cyclades, Mycenaean vases from Attica, and a representative collection from Cyprus, attesting to the steady growth of the museum's collection in just nine years.

First edition, number 190 of 350 copies; 2 vols, 8vo text & folio atlas of plates; text with 10 plates, folio album with 21 plates, many in full colour; contemporary red half morocco gilt, top edge gilt, extremities lightly rubbed; a very good set.
