Faces of Archaeology in Greece : Caricatures by Piet De Jong

While working for Arthur Evans in Crete, as well as for other scholars at the legendary sites of Athens, Corinth, Mycenae and Sparta during the 1920s and 30s, the famous archaeological draftsman Piet de Jong made over forty caricatures of his friends and colleagues.

In this book the caricatures are printed in full colour, and each cartoon is accompanied by b/w photo and a brief biography of the person represented.

The pictures include: Arthur Evans (excavator of Knossos), Carl Blegen (excavator of Troy and Pylos), Hetty Goldman (excavator of Eutresis), and Dilys Powell (Film Critic).

A more detailed life history of Piet and his wife Effie completes the book.
