Baker-Penoyre, Mr John ff. |
| Scope and Content | The original description in the SPHS register reads: "Mistra: Castle, views from it". |
| Notes | Date based on the earliest excavations at Artemis Orthia in 1907 which Baker Penoyre visited. Numerous images of Baker-Penoyre's of Sparta or the Mistra region appear grouped with these and are listed in the 1908 JHS slide accession list. This image appears in SPHS slide set by A.J. Toynbee (ca. 1924) Greek Life and the Greek Environment [later changed to The Geography of Greece], slide number 41. The image is duplicated in slide format in the Ashmolean Lantern Slide Teaching Collection, Oxford University, cataogue number XB341 as "Eurotas: plain from Mistra". |
