Losses and Survivals in the Dodecanese

Abstract

This article has been written as a supplement to the Stationery Office booklet Works of Art in Greece, the Greek Islands and the Dodecanese, issued by the British Committee on the Preservation and Restitution of Works of Art, Archives and other Material in Enemy Hands. The survey of the antiquities in the Dodecanese was only commenced in September 1945 and was still in progress when the booklet went to press, with the result that only the information obtained in the early stages of the survey was included. This article records the position at the end of May 1946.
