BRITISH MUSEUM
A description of the collection of ancient terracottas in the British Museum; with engravings.

The introduction is signed by Taylor Combe (1774--1826).

The etchings are from drawings by William Alexander (1767--1816) and are nearly all of terracottas that came into the Museum along with the Towneley marbles.
