hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: Harmondsworth, Middlesex, Penguin Books Limited, 1950 Formatting: Small 8vo, pp. 36, 54 plates. Condition Report: Very Good. The book is securely bound with bright, unoxidised pictorial cover boards that beautifully match the scarce dust jacket. The jacket itself remains unclipped, bearing the original '3/-' price on the rear flap, presenting with only minor shelf-wear and a touch of light rubbing to the extremities. Internally, the binding remains tight and the pages supple. There is some scattered foxing evident, primarily confined to the preliminary endpapers and the title page. Crucially, the collogravure plates at the rear remain crisp, clean, and unaffected by the foxing. Overall, a highly attractive and well-preserved copy of a fragile edition. Catalogue Note: This is a true first edition of Greek Terracottas, issued as volume 54 in the celebrated King Penguin Books series. Published under the auspices of the Hellenic Society, the volume features 54 striking collogravure plates printed by Harrison and Sons Ltd., alongside text pages produced by R. and R. Clark Ltd. in Edinburgh. The striking patterned cover and its corresponding dust jacket were designed by the renowned British artist Enid Marx, whose graphic work remains highly collectible. While standard copies of this title frequently appear on the secondary market, sourcing one that successfully retains its original, matching dust jacket in such a respectable state of preservation is becoming increasingly uncommon. Authored by the eminent classical scholar T. B. L. Webster, this concise yet authoritative volume explores the cultural and artistic significance of ancient Greek clay figurines. Juxtaposing a scholarly overview with striking photographic plates spanning from the seventh to the first century B.C., Greek Terracottas offers an accessible and beautiful window into the everyday life, religion, and artistry of the ancient Greeks. This pocket-sized King Penguin edition serves as a delightful resource for classicists, historians, and art lovers alike. Enid Marx (illustrator).…
