Description
Interior view of a pavilion showing statues and the lavish and intricate decoration of columns, capitals, and entablature as a man with a turban and a woman carrying water gaze at some achitectural fragments laid on the floor.
The accurate date of publication of this work in 5(?) volumes isn’t very easy to figure out. The catalog record of the volume referred to here suggests a publication spanning the years 1858-1861, while the Hathi Trust cautiously points to 1858-1860, and the British Museum gives the single year 1857.
