專家說明

Lear left Athens with Charles Church on 13 June 1848 for a tour in Attica and Boeotia. Three days later on 16 June he records in his journal, '9 a.m. came in sight of Port of Rhamnus. Drew, while C.M.C. bathed. Tremendous heat. Then, at last with great pain, mounted and rode up to the foundations of Temple (the ancient Temple of Nemesis). On by ravines, with wood and grey rocks. By 1 p.m. at Varnava, a pretty village, with noble views. Dinner in tent - excellent. Directly afterwards drew - great heat.'
