| Content and context |
222 x 154 mm. A view looking towards the small circular temple. Frith comments in his description: 'The little gem known as the 'Circular Temple' stands at the distance of about a quarter of a mile from the great structure. My view will show that it was most elaborately ornamented and finished. There are around it externally eight Corinthian columns, with a roof or entablature, beautifully sculptured, and projecting in an elegant curve towards each pillar, giving it rather the appearance of an octagonal structure. Between each column is the niche for a statue.' |
