Description of the subject depicted in the print:
Under the direction of Prof. d'Espouy, the graduates
of the famous Paris school of art, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, measured,
rendered and shaded the views of the famous monuments of Classic
Greece and Italy. (The images on the print are not photographs). These
drawing were then reproduced by a 19th C. process called heliogravure.
The print is a piece of art in itself. The details, the quality of
artistic rendering and accuracy are exceptional.
Erechtheum
is an Ionic temple of Athena, built during 421-405 BC on the Acropolis
at Athens, famous largely for its complexity and for the exquisite perfection
of its details. The temple's Ionic capitals are
the most beautiful that Greece produced, and its distinctive porch, supported
by caryatid figures, is unequaled in classical architecture.
The name, of popular origin, is derived from a shrine dedicated to the
Greek hero Erichthonius. It is believed by some that the temple was erected
in honour of the legendary king Erechtheus. The architect was
probably Mnesicles. In the early 19th century, Lord Elgin took several
sections of the temple to London. Later, in the early 20th
century, it was somewhat restored.
