Color PaletteThe English author Lord Byron died in 1824 in Greece during its war of independence. When the English publisher William Finden decided in 1831 to issue a book of 100 engravings titled Finden's Landscape Illustrations to the Life and Works of Lord Byron he realized that Greek subjects would be needed.
Finden engaged notable English watercolorists to provide the images that would be engraved, among whom Turner and Stanfield were preeminent. Neither had been to Greece, so Finden provided them with travel sketches made earlier by William Page (1794-1872).
