Scope and Content The original description in the SPHS register reads: "Karytaina: Plain of Megalopolis from the ruins of the Castle".
Notes Unknown date, but based on numerous images donated by Walter Leaf that were catalogued SPHS 1667 to 1700 that appeared in the 1897 slide catalogue in the Journal of Hellenic Studies, it probably dates no later than 1897. However, Leaf was known to visit nearby Megalopolis in 1891.Note many of these appear in his list of enlargements that was published in 1902.
