Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature, Vol. 8: Of the United Kingdom I. - On the Discovery of the Lion at Chæronea, By a Party of English Travellers in 1818. (Read April 14th, 1863.) I have much pleasure in laying before the Society, this evening, a very interesting account of the discovery, by Mr. G. L. Taylor, of the famous Lion at Chæronea, in a letter he was induced to address to Mr. Newton, on a notice having appeared in the newspapers of the receipt, at the British Museum, of a cast of this venerable relic from Athens, during the autumn of 1862. The letter is as follows: - Athenæum Club and Broadstairs. December 19th, 1862. Sir, A note in the ´Times´ of 12th inst., respecting the Theban or Chæronean Lion, has just been pointed out to me, in which it is stated that a cast of it is being put together by you, at the British Museum. The original ought to have been ours; and I beg to inform you that I am the only surviving member of a party of four, who were the discoverers and disinterrers of this relic of early Greek sculpture.
