Abstract

Previous discussions of collections printed in Archaeological Reports have consisted of catalogues of antiquities. This contribution does not deal with antiquities per se, but with objects depicting antiquities – 46 glass plate photographic negatives dating to the nineteenth century. However, these objects are also culturally-produced artefacts. Most of them are large, approximately 20cm by 20cm, glass plates, though some are rectangular of both smaller and larger dimensions. In addition, there are seventeen duplicated images in a British standard 8.25cm by 8.25cm lantern slide format. These glass artefacts are remnants of a much larger collection of negatives and slides amassed by the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies (hereafter Hellenic Society) in the late nineteenth to the first half of the twentieth century.
