This excerpt reflects on the significance of art collections from both ancient and modern times, presented during a public session celebrating a notable anniversary. It discusses how the appreciation of past art leads to the collection of its remnants, with the nature of this appreciation influencing the collections themselves. The history of antiquities collections is intertwined with the evolving perceptions and feelings towards ancient art, which change more rapidly than the collections can adapt. The deep sorrow felt over the destruction of magnificent ancient works has led to a careful preservation of the few remaining pieces. The text explores the development of contemporary expectations regarding these collections and the origins of museums as intentional repositories of valued remnants from bygone eras. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing significant historical works, utilizing advanced technology to restore and preserve original formats while addressing imperfections. Their commitment ensures that these important texts remain accessible, even if some flaws from the original editions are intentionally retained to maintain authenticity.
