Outlines From The Figures And Compositions Upon The Greek, Roman, And Etruscan Vases Of The Late William Hamilton (1804) is a book written by William Hamilton, a British diplomat and antiquarian, that provides a detailed description of the Greek, Roman, and Etruscan vases in his collection. The book is a compilation of sketches and outlines of the figures and compositions on the vases, accompanied by explanatory notes and observations on the history and culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The vases are divided into categories based on their style and origin, and each section includes a brief introduction and analysis of the characteristics of the vases in that category. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of antiquities collecting in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
