Title:

Sculpure of a female head found at Cnidus. Photographer: Spackman, Benjamin L.

Scope & Content:

Genre: Archaeological Photography

Front view of a female head, enclosure no. 9 in Newton's despatch of no. 45 of 2 April 1858. The discovery of the piece is mentioned in the body of Newton's report: 'Close to this spot I found … immediately to the east of the two bases, a mass of sculpture lying on the slope of one of the walls of the tombs. This consisted of the half of a female hand rather larger than life ... and a veiled female head rather larger than life, of which I have the honor to enclose a drawing by Mr Pullan and a photograph. This head belongs to a statue into which it has been fitted by a round socket. It is in excellent condition and is a noble specimen of Greek art of the best period.'
