unbound. T. J. Willson (illustrator). Print. Color lithograph. Image measures 14 7/8" x 9 3/8", sheet measures 21 1/2" x 14 1/2" This finely detailed architectural illustration by Thomas Willson captures a study of classical Greek design, likely based on his time accompanying Penrose to Athens to perform research. The composition focuses on the details at the top of the antae, (load-bearing pillars on either side of a doorway) of the Propylaea, the grand ceremonial entryway of the Acropolis. The design includes a smaller 3/4ths view in neutral tones, and a larger square view of the same section with rich red, blue, green, and gold coloring. Ideal for collectors of classical art, architecture enthusiasts, and those drawn to historical design, this piece offers a timeless glimpse into the analytical beauty of ancient structures as interpreted through 19th-century scholarship. This print appeared as plate XXIV (24) in the Enlarged Edition of "An investigation of the principles of Athenian architecture: or, the results of a survey conducted chiefly with reference to the optical refinements exhibited in the construction of the ancient buildings at Athens" by Penrose, published in 1888. This work is historically important in classical archaeology and architectural history because Penrose combined surveying with attention to the visual corrections used in ancient Athenian monuments.

The composition focuses on "the small cornice, ionic architrave, beams, coffers and in the interior of the west portico" of the Propylaea, the grand ceremonial entryway of the Acropolis. The design includes measurements, accurate angles and curves, and amazing color detail including metallic gold ink.
