Frankfort, The Art and Architecture of the Ancient Orient.

Frankfort, Henri.

The Art and Architecture of the Ancient Orient.

Middlesex, Penguin, 1970. 15 x 21cm. 456 pages, with black and white photographs and text illustrations throughout. Original softcover. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. Inscribed with previous owner’s name. [The Pelican History of Art, Series Editor: Nikolaus Pevsner].

Monumental architecture and sculpture first appeared in the Near East between 3500 and 3000 B.C. when Egypt and Mesopotamia emerged as the focal points of civilisation. They continued as such until about 500 B.C., when Greece took the lead. This book traces the development of Mesopotamian art from Sumerian times to the late Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian periods. This text also covers the art and architecture of Asia Minor and the Hittites, of the Levant in the second millennium BC, of the Aramaeans and Phoenicians in Syria, and of Ancient Persia. [Penguin]
