In 1816, architect and botanist Joseph Woods (1776-1864) embarked
on a two-year journey through France, Switzerland, Italy and
Greece, documenting interesting flora as well as buildings of note.
This two-volume work first appeared in 1828. The account stands
apart from other contemporary travelogues owing to the application
of Woods' architectural insight. By critically assessing ancient
and modern buildings for strengths and defects, Woods hoped to
inform fellow architects as to how they might produce beautiful
buildings through the study of different modes of construction and
decoration. Accordingly, the text is accompanied by Woods' drawings
of important buildings and architectural features. In Volume 2, he
records his travels through Italy, Greece and Malta, and examines
such notable locations as the Athenian Acropolis and the ruins of
Pompeii.
