[Altilia. SW gate (Sepino, Italy)], 1947-1961
Scope and Contents
Marion E. Blake collected miscellaneous materials during her research on Roman buildings (Republic and early Empire) and Roman mosaics (second century, Republic, early and late Empire). Both she and Esther Van Deman took many notes during their archaeological surveys and study trips in Italy, Europe and North Africa. The Blake material, always included in the Van Deman Collection, has recently been discovered and re-evaluated as a unique nucleus. The collection is now an accurate survey, mostly on Italian mosaics; it consists of photographs, personal notes, drawings, postcards, manuscripts and typewritten documents. All this detailed material will be used by Marion Blake for her publications.
