Greek Terracottas

Greek Terracottas (1950) by N.B.L. Pevsner – King Penguin Books
Offered by Crappy Old Books – proudly selling paper older than your parents.

In Greek Terracottas, Pevsner (yes, that Pevsner) trades grand cathedrals for tiny goddesses, miniature satyrs, and clay offerings from the ancient world. First published in 1950 as part of the beautifully illustrated King Penguin series, this pocket-sized gem explores the delicate artistry and cultural context of terracotta figurines in classical Greece — the everyday art of everyday people.

Our copy? Let’s call it “museum-grade shabby.” The colour plates are still vivid, though the spine may be living its final days. Perfect for classicists, design lovers, or anyone who likes their archaeology with a whiff of attic dust.
