E.Dodwell, during his many trips to Greece (narratives of which he published in 1819 in the two-volume ''A Classical and Topographical Tour Through Greece''), depicted the Greek world, its monuments and its inhabitants in dozens of watercolors. Printed by Charles Joseph Hullmandel, they were published as individual loose aquatints from 1819 to 1821. A selection of 30 of them was collected in 1821 in a superbly designed work, 'Views in Greece' (by Roswell and Martin).
