General Cesnola making explorations in Cyprus
Description
The lower half shows an open, hilly plain with a line of workers holding long poles spaced across the ground. In the foreground a seated man sits beneath a large open parasol, while a robed figure with a tall staff stands beside another man who holds a parasol. Scattered objects and plants lie in the grass at the bottom edge. Two bearded and moustached portraits appear above the printed columns of text.
English
A wood engraving from a magazine page shows two portraits at the top and a landscape scene below. A man under a parasol sits on the left while a figure in a long robe holds a tall staff beside a man with a parasol on the right. Workers stand in a line across the open ground.
