- This volume is the culmination of a 12-year project on ‘Articulating Visual Boundaries in Ancient Greece, Rome and Beyond’, in collaboration with Verity Platt (co-editor). Underlying research was funded by the Humboldt-Stiftung, Leverhulme Trust, Chicago University and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (cf. pp.xxxiii-xxxv). Critical insights depended on the collection and analysis of a large and wide-ranging body of material, studied from a variety of complex theoretical perspectives in close collaboration with the contributors. The result is a definitive study of the subject in over 700 pages (c.100 sole-authored by Squire, another c.100 pages co-authored with Platt).

- This 2017 volume is the culmination of a 12-year project on ‘Articulating Visual Boundaries in Ancient Greece, Rome and Beyond’. The project was conceived in close collaboration with Squire's co-editor, Verity Platt, and originated in an international workshop organised at Corpus Christi College, Oxford in 2005. Of the twelve contributors to the volume, four delivered papers at the 2005 workshop; over the ensuing decade the editors commissioned eight other scholars in the UK, US, Germany, Italy and France to write chapters, ensuring breadth and overall coverage (contributions by four additional scholars were excluded on the grounds of overall ‘fit’). The underlying research was funded by the Humboldt-Stiftung (2008–2010), Leverhulme Trust (2013–2016), Chicago University (2007–2010) and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (2012–2013) (cf. pp.xxxiii-xxxv). Squire is sole author of one chapter on ‘Framing the “still life”’ (pp.188–254), as well as two section introductions on ‘Framing Bodies’ and ‘Framing Texts’ (pp.256–69, 502–13); Squire co-wrote the introduction with Verity Platt (pp.1–99), which lays out the larger research contribution and disciplinary context. Platt and Squire worked closely with each other and with contributors to tie together the five thematic sections of the book; this involved working with authors in developing the thinking of individual chapters, suggesting revisions, integrating cross-references, ensuring stylistic and bibliographic consistency (including the bibliography: pp.604–78) and writing the index; in many cases it also involved gathering images and permissions (over 250 in total) and translating/correcting English of international scholars. The nature of these contributions is often acknowledged by individual contributors (e.g. pp. 117, 270, 425, 457).
