EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinctive Attic, Doric, and Ionic features of Greek architecture as depicted in Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, published in London in 1820. The image includes various architectural elements, each representing a unique style from ancient Greece. In the foreground, we see the Attic bases from the Temples of Jupiter Olympius and Minerva Polias in Athens. These temples, both iconic landmarks of ancient Greek civilization, are characterized by their Attic bases, which are square or rectangular in shape and feature a slight outward taper towards the top. Next, we have the Doric base, as illustrated by Vignola, which is the simplest and most ancient of the three orders. Doric bases are typically square and have a flat bottom and a slight outward taper. The Doric capitals from the portico of Philip in Delos and the Temple of Corinth are also depicted, showcasing their distinctive fluting and simple, unadorned design. Lastly, the Ionic capital from the Temple of Minerva Polias in Athens is displayed, featuring its characteristic volutes, or scrolls, and the elegant, slender columns typical of Ionic architecture. This intricately detailed copperplate engraving offers a glimpse into the rich history of Greek architecture and the enduring influence of its iconic styles.
