Viccy Coltman contrasts the precarious and competitive culture of eighteenth-century collecting, which integrated sculpture into the domestic interior back home in Britain, with the study and publication of individual specimens byclassical archaeologists like Adolf Michaelis a century later. Her study is comprehensively illustrated with over 100 phot 410 0$aClassical presences. 606 $aSculpture, Classical$xCollectors and collecting$zGreat Britain$xHistory 615 0$aSculpture, Classical$xCollectors and collecting$xHistory. 676 $a733.07441 700 $aColtman$b Viccy$01495361 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789756803321 996 $aClassical sculpture and the culture of collecting in Britain since 1760$93719418 997 $aUNINA
