Catalogue Note
"The drawings for this volume were made at different periods in the years 1833 and 1837. During the first period Spain was comparatively tranquil... During the second I saw the demolition of some of the finest convents going on, and observed the sites on which others had recently stood: the prospect of the speedy ruin of nearly all... made me feel a strong desire to preserve some trace of establishments... [with] an interest and character not less in Spain than in Italy." (Preface)
