T. Combe, A Description of the Collection of Ancient Terracottas in the British Museum London, 1810, first edition printed by W. Bulmer and Co. on heavy wove stock, with large margins, numerous engraved plates and title-page with large vignette of a terracotta fragment. Taylor Combe was the then keeper of antiquities. The collection was mostly that of Charles Towneley, which, together with a group of marbles, had been bought by Parliament for the British Museum in 1805. Towneley had acquired some of his best pieces from the sculptor, Joseph Nollekins, who whilst a student in Rome had purchased an entire cache of terracottas discovered in a well near Porta Latina in 1765. The plates are after drawings by William Alexander, the first keeper of prints and drawings at The British Museum, with later binding.
