The itinerary of Greece: With a commentary on Pausanias and Strabo and an account of the monuments of antiquity at present existing in that country

Gell, William · 1810 · 24 pictures

William Gell's 1810 The Itinerary of Greece is an antiquarian travel guide keyed to Pausanias and Strabo, aimed at scholars and travellers of its day, with engraved views of ancient ruins and landscapes. The four plates shown are rotated on the scan; they depict rugged hillsides, terraced stonework, huge polygonal blocks and a steep cliff face labelled Mycenae, offering a designer studious landscape textures and the look of early nineteenth-century antiquarian engraving.
