Sculptural fragments from the Acropolis. 1860s. 6 albumen prints, mounted to board. Each between 20 x 26 cm and 27 x 38,5 cm or reverse (mounts between 23,5 x 31 cm and 32 x 47,5 cm or reverse).

A rare group of early photographs documenting sculptural fragments from the Acropolis shortly after their excavation. The images include the Moschophoros (Calf-Bearer) and the Kritios Boy, both shown in their fragmentary state following exhumation, as well as representations of Dionysos and a Dionysiac relief (now in the collection of the Louvre). Several plates depict sections of the Parthenon frieze, including processional figures and horsemen. – Corners of mounts slightly bumped, with some time-staining, particularly around the edges; some scuff marks, fading, and traces of silver mirroring in the darker areas of some prints, otherwise all in good to very good condition.
