Revival: Ancient Cyprus (1937)
Its Art and Archaeology
Mr. Casson’s Book
Mr. Casson’s book is designed to show that the prehistoric and Hellenic sites in the island deserve much more notice than they have received. Mr. Casson emphasizes the peculiarities of Cypriote art and usage; the Greeks evidently had reason to regard the Cypriote "character" or style as exceptional. Mr. Casson’s illustrations of sculptures at Nicosia and in London show that his tempered praise of Cypriote art is justified.
