Description
Mounted with a printed excerpt from "Don Juan" by Lord Byron (1819-1824), Canto IV, Stanza LXXVII: “High barrows, without marble or a name,/ A vast, untill'd, and mountain-skirted plain,/ And Ida in the distance, still the same,/ And old Scamander (if 't is he) remain;/ The situation seems still form'd for fame—/ A hundred thousand men might fight again/ With ease; but where I sought for Ilion's walls,/ The quiet sheep feeds, and the tortoise crawls;”. From: "Album No.5, Carelli's Sketches, 1839, Sicily & the East".
