A map drawn in ink over a black and white photograph. The title in the top right corner reads "Sketch Map of Limena shewing natural features, the ancient remains, modern occupation and character of cultivation 1907." There is a key and scale bar in the upper left corner, and a compass in the lower left corner. Towards the lower right is written in ink "J. Penoyre"; the same is written faintly in pencil to the lower left of this. The number 371 is pasted in the lower right corner, with the bottom half protruding from the lower edge of the map; it is also written and circled in pencil to the upper left of the compass. There is a reinforced hole in each corner. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Relief map of the ancient city of Thasos, photographed from a model. Note the tiny ancient harbour (Limena) and the ancient walls rising to include the citadel with summit tower and temple platform.” |
