Bronze Vases, Romano-British, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Bronze Vases, Romano-British, 1850. Items from an Exhibition of Ancient and Mediaeval Art at the Society of Arts, in John-street, Adelphi, [London]. Commencing, therefore, with the earliest periods, we give the following groupe of antique Roman bronzes from the cabinet of the Hon. Richard Neville, which, besides presenting a beauty of form not unworthy of Herculaneum, are curious as affording us a specimen of the Roman metal-work during their occupation of Britain - these vases having been found in a barrow at Thornbrough, in Buckinghamshire'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Bronze Vases, dating back to the Romano-British period around 1850. The image is taken from an exhibition of Ancient and Mediaeval Art held at the Society of Arts in London, and was first published in the Illustrated London News. The group of Roman bronzes displayed in this print are noteworthy for their exquisite form and intricate design, reminiscent of the artistic masterpieces discovered in Herculaneum, Italy. These vases, which include oil lamps and pitchers, were found in a barrow at Thornbrough in Buckinghamshire, offering a rare glimpse into the Roman metalwork during their occupation of Britain. The Victorian era, with its fascination for the ancient world, saw a surge in the collection and exhibition of antiquities. This print, engraved from an original, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these Bronze Vases, which have survived the test of time. The Illustrated London News, a leading newspaper of the time, documented this exhibition, providing a platform for the public to engage with the rich history and culture of the Roman Empire, even as they navigated the bustling streets of 19th century London. This print, a testament to the past, continues to inspire and intrigue, offering a window into a bygone era.
