"Gallo's book offers a different, broader perspective on Elgin's role with respect to the Parthenon and contributes to a deeper understanding of the Athenian monument and its reception in the 19th century....Highly recommended."<br/< --Choice, "And what can one say in final praise of this publication? Perhaps that if the Elgin drawings were given a first life by being included in some of the publications of the first half of the nineteenth century, so now, more than a hundred years later, they have been endowed with a second life for historians and archaeologists and architects alike, presented here as they are so generously and so carefully.
