This catalogue details the collection of coloured drawings and engravings of ancient mosaics made for and collected by Dr. Robert Wollaston and presented to the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum) by Mrs. Wollaston in 1867. The catalogue offers a glimpse into the study and appreciation of mosaic art in the 19th century, providing valuable information on the appearance and context of these ancient artworks as they were then understood. It is a resource for researchers, art historians, and anyone interested in the history of mosaic art and its preservation. The detailed descriptions and illustrations offer insights into the techniques and styles of ancient mosaic creation, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with classical antiquity.
