Ltd, London.Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 20 October 1993, lot 119.Private collection, Greece.'This valley we crossed ― & an ascent to Κονδάρινα followed ― no part is anywhere very interesting. 9 A.M. thence, by particularly vile paths & a steep descent to the shore of Βασιλικῆ. The morning was hot ― & I not very well ― headache & tired. I wish I could reckon on getting back to Sta. Maura on Thursday! However, the plain of Βασιλικῆ & the mountain of Σταυροτὰ are more respectable than anything I have yet seen.'Edward Lear, diary entry for 19 April 1863.
