Recenzii
’This is a fascinating book that reveals an alternative view of the Grand Tour travellers’ descriptions of the Aegean and its wonders.’ Minerva ’Gunning’s book is enjoyable, full of vignettes, excellent research, and a valuable addition to the growing body of material on the historiography of archaeology and collecting.’ Anglo-Hellenic Review ’... essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of classical archaeology and the historical circumstances in which 19th-century museum collections were formed.’ American Journal of Archaeology

Descriere
The book tells the story of how the British consular service in the Aegean, in the years of the British protectorate of the Ionian Islands (1815-1864) became an agency for the retrieval, excavation and collection of antiquities eventually destined for the British Museum. Exploring the historical, political and diplomatic circumstances that allowed the consular service to develop from a chartered company, into a state run institution under the direction of the Foreign Office, this book provides a unique perspective on the intersection of state policy and the collecting of antiquities.
