⁂ A complete copy of this rare work, in need of some TLC. ‘Selina Bracebridge (née Mills) was a pupil of Samuel Prout; her husband was the Bracebridge celebrated in Washington Irving’s Bracebridge Hall. She and her husband travelled in the Levant in the mid-1830s [when this panorama was drawn in December 1833] and were settled for some years in Athens … In 1854 the Bracebridges were in the Crimea; Mr Bracebridge was Florence Nightingale’s uncle’ (Blackmer).
