Mermen and Sea Monsters
Ancient civilizations show diverse depictions of "fish-tailed monsters," from mermen to hippocamps. Shepard's 1940 thesis details the history and development of this theme in Greek and Etruscan art. It includes fascinating material for students, professionals, and enthusiasts of folklore, archaeology, and ancient artifacts.
This is a facsimile reprint. It includes 16 black-and-white plates and index.
Katharine Shepard went on to curate in the Graphic Arts department of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
