-
Genre: Archaeological Photography
Profile view of female head, part of enclosure no. 7 in Newton's despatch no. 45 of 2 April 1858, here incorrectly dated 7 April. This piece is mentioned in the body of Newton's despatch to the Earl of Malmesbury: 'Immediately to the west of these inscriptions I found a female head rather under life size, of which I have the honor to enclose three photographs and a drawing by Mr Pullan. This head belongs to the best period of Greek art and is in excellent condition. The headdress is of the kind called Opisthosphendone, which appears in the silver coins of Syracuse from B.C. 430 to B.C. 350.' (Mss. Add. 46889B f. 38v.)
