One thought on “6151_Victoria overlooking the city”
Hello Emma.
The architecture is interesting. It seems to be based on the Greek style but is more cluttered. The columns appear to be of the Doric Order as the tops of them have an abacus and echinus. There are sculptures in the pediment but they are not as good as those in the pediments of Greek temples. The Scots must have copied the Greek architecture and then added their own embellishments.
grand tour of the middling sort
