Summary

Description
English: The image shows, in the foreground, the columns of the Olympian Zeus and, in the background, the Acropolis. The notes of the photographer (see below) provide more details about the image. Print of an engraving based on a daguerreotype photograph taken by Pierre-Gustave Joly (Joly de Lotbinière) in October, 1839. Engraved by Appert. Published with the caption L'Acropolis à Athènes in Excursions daguerriennes, Noël Paymal Lerebours publisher, Paris, first published in 1840 and 1841. This reproduction is from a reedition published in 1842.

Excerpt from the notes of Pierre-Gustave Joly:
"October 1839. View of the columns of Olympian Jupiter, taken from the left bank of the Ilyssos, from the stadium. There are 16 columns; above the last two columns of the main group, there is a small rough structure into which had lived an ascetic or holy man, so the people call those columns the fool's columns ; at their foot is seen the Arch of Hadrian on which is written on the side: here is the city of Hadrian. That arch is much taller than it looks here, the level of the base being below that of the columns of Jupiter. In the backgroud the Acropolis and the temple of Minerva or Parthenon."

Exemplaire imprimé d'une gravure faite à partir d'une photographie daguerréotype prise par Pierre-Gustave Joly (Joly de Lotbinière) en octobre 1839. Gravée par Appert. Publiée avec la légende L'Acropolis à Athènes dans Excursions daguerriennes, éditeur Noël Paymal Lerebours, Paris, première publication en 1840 et 1841. Cette reproduction provient d'une réédition publiée en 1842.

Extrait des notes de Pierre-Gustave Joly :
« Octobre 1839. Vue des colonnes de Jupiter olympien, prise de la rive gauche de l'Ilyssus, depuis le stadium. Ces colonnes sont au nombre de 16, au dessus des deux dernières colonnes du groupe principal se trouve une petite construction des plus grossières dans laquelle demeurait autrefois un Santon ou Saint, ainsi les gens du peuple appellent-ils ces colonnes les colonnes du fou ; à leur pied se voit la porte d'Adrien sur laquelle se lit sur le côté : ici est la ville d'Adrien. Cette porte est beaucoup plus haute qu'elle ne le paraît ici, le niveau de la base étant plus bas que celui des colonnes de Jupiter. Dans le fond l'Acropole et le temple de Minerve ou Parthénon. »[1]
