Masterpieces of the British Museum

By J.D. Hill

Book Overview

This is the new glossy souvenir-style catalogue of the British Museum's finest pieces, and does pretty much what you would expect, coupling exquisite photography which brief but informative descriptions of the context and functions of the artefacts. The pieces are arranged thematically, rather than chronologically or geographically, which makes for some interesting juxtapositions.
