The archaeologist Edward Dodwell (c.1776 1832) published this
two-volume work in 1819. Elected an honorary member of Berlin's
Royal Academy in 1816, Dodwell had been educated at Cambridge,
toured France and Germany, and lived in Rome and Naples. Writing
extensively on Greek antiquity, he made three tours of Greece,
where he produced hundreds of drawings, recording in particular the
Athenian Acropolis and the city walls of Argos. He also collected
coins and discovered or acquired many valuable artefacts, notably
bronzes and vases. Including reproductions of his accomplished
illustrations, Volume 1 covers his tours of 1801 and 1805, during
which he visited Corfu, Mount Parnassus, Thebes and Attica,
spending considerable time in Athens. His detailed account, mixing
travelogue with serious scholarship, remains of interest and
relevance to classical archaeologists.
