The author catalogs types of centaurs from earliest times to about 480 BC as found in various vases, plates, wares, architectural reliefs and so forth. It's a scholarly work that really is basically a list rather than a synthesis of what he's found. One sample (p66): "On shoulder, a female figure in long chiton and himation which flutters behind her is piercing with her spear in uplifted r. the body of a centaur stumbling to l., with branch over l. shoulder and r. hand uplifted in supplication." There aren't as many illustrations as I'd like to see and most are fairly small.
