About the Item

Ruins of Euromos (Caria) – Grand Temple View by Louis de Laborde, circa 1840 This evocative 19th-century lithograph, titled CUIERA – Vue du Grand Temple prise du pronaos, depicts the impressive ruins of the Temple of Zeus Lepsynos at Euromos (ancient Caria, Asia Minor), as drawn by Louis de Laborde. The view shows a partially standing colonnade of fluted Ionic columns set against a mountainous backdrop, with scattered ruins and foliage emphasizing both the grandeur and decay of the ancient site. Drawn by Louis de Laborde and lithographed by Frey, this print is part of the visual documentation from Laborde’s travels in the eastern Mediterranean. Laborde (1800–1869) was a French archaeologist, artist, and explorer known for his detailed visual records of ancient monuments in Greece, Turkey, and the Near East. This lithograph likely dates from around **1840**, when his publications on Asia Minor were produced to wide acclaim in both academic and artistic circles. The composition is classical in tone and Romantic in atmosphere. A lone traveler dressed in traditional Ottoman garb sits quietly in the foreground, heightening the sense of timelessness and cultural layering. Beyond him rise the towering remains of the temple’s columns, two of which still support a fragment of the entablature. The balance of man and ruin, wilderness and structure, speaks to 19th-century themes of the sublime, history, and the legacy of classical civilization. The lithograph is printed in warm sepia tones, a typical aesthetic choice for travel prints of this kind, evoking a sunlit, nostalgic mood that mirrors the Romantic fascination with ruins and the past. Such prints were both educational and decorative, often included in travel albums or sold individually to collectors of antiquities and armchair travelers. Condition report: The lithograph is in good condition. The image is clean and detailed, though foxing is visible near the bottom margin and lower edge of the sheet. The sheet is full and untrimmed, with slight age toning consistent with its period. Framing suggestions: This architectural ruin scene would pair well with a classical gold or aged oak frame. A light beige or ivory mat would bring out the lithograph’s warm tones without overpowering its delicate structure. UV-protective glass is recommended. Perfect for collectors of Grand Tour prints, Orientalist landscapes, or classical archaeology.
