Bronze Vases, Romano-British, 1850. Items from an 'Exhibition of Ancient and Mediaeval Art at the Society of Arts, in John-street, Adelphi', [London]. 'Commencing, therefore, with the earliest periods, we give the following groupe of antique Roman bronzes from the cabinet of the Hon. Richard Neville, which, besides presenting a beauty of form not unworthy of Herculaneum, are curious as affording us a specimen of the Roman metal-work during their occupation of Britain - these vases having been found in a barrow at Thornbrough, in Buckinghamshire'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
