Douris and the Painters of Greek Vases. By Edmond Pottier.

Translated by Bettina, Kalinweiler. (John Murray. 7s. 6d. net.)— The destroying hand of time, which falls heavily on fragile pottery, has spared twenty-eight vases and fragments which were painted and signed by the hand of Douris. M. Pottier has described these in a charming short monograph, and introduces by the way all sorts of information as to this particular department of Greek art, with its ramifications and technical processes.
