The Rhino Of PompejI.

Animal stories are somewhat rare
In archaeology. but these pictures will
help to tell q story which has been
occupying the serious attention OF
German antiquaries. Before the Ber.
lin Society Of the History OF Art, DR..
Harry David recently announced his
discovery Of a fraud" In the Naples
museum. in the shape Of the bas- relief
Of rhinoceros said to have been
found at Pompeii.
The doctor triumphantly pointed out
that the bas-relief was really a COPY
Of drawing by Durer in the British
museum, and that, therefore, the ItaI
ians had been deceived. The Italian
authorities. however. retorted by stat
ing that the bas-relief did not appear
In any official catalogue, and that, a
matter Of fact. the fraud" was
really the result Of Q book By q Ger,
