Between 1817-20 he travelled around Italy and Greece with George Ledwell Taylor and architect John Sanders, acting as draughtsman. Published in Greece: Pictorial, Descriptive & Historical by Christopher Wordsworth, 1839. London : William S. Orr and Co. opposite page 98. The engraving of the drawing was done by J. Wood. |
