| Notes | The date 1936 is listed in the description of the image. "Temple model from Perachora: reconstructed from parts of two such models: one gives the apse and the painted decoration; the other, on a slightly different scale, part of the roof, with the twisted rope along the ridge-pole where the thatch was sewn. The upper story is restored from the Argive Heraeum model ( c): the only possible doubt is over the upper part of twin columns, which are broken off in the original" is printed on the negative. |
