During the last twenty-five years the National Gallery of Victoria has built up, under the guidance of Professor A.D. Trendall, a notable collection of Greek vases, not only from mainland Greece but also from the Greek colonies of southern Italy. The collection is now presented to the public in this handbook, which is based upon an earlier work by the same author, Greek Vases in the Feltoil Collection (Melbourne, 1968), but includes the many vases acquired in recent years.
