Classical sculptures from the Vatican Museums, the Lateran Museum, Villa Ludovisi, and the Capitoline Museums: Apollo Belvedere, Meleager, Laocoön, Discobolus, Nike, Niobid, Marcus Aurelius, Sophocles, and Mars. 1855-1860. 9 large-format albumen prints, mounted to card. Each ca. 38,5 x 30 cm or reverse (mounts 64 x 48,5 cm or reverse). Each annotated in black ink below the image on the mount; most with the photographer’s or publisher’s stamp embossed in the margins of the mount.

James Anderson's rendition of sculpture is exceptional, likely due to his own experience as a sculptor. His images of sculpture far surpass other art reproductions of the time and stand out as individual works. The prints are gold-toned, giving them a rich, violet brown color that exceeds the quality of images found in travel albums of the time.
