NOTES: This drawing was made in preparation for publication in Newton's 'The Architecture of M. Vitruvius Pollio', (London, 1771; 2nd edition, 1791), in which Vitruvian principles were applied to conjectural reconstructions of Classical buildings and later constructions. This is half of figure LVIII (2nd edition).

NOTES: William Newton was responsible for the detailing of the chapel during it's rebuilding, following a disastrous fire in 1779.

NOTES: The details featured here include a capital and entablature, a profile of the fascia and moulding between the columns. The Lysicrates Monument is the best preserved example of a Choregic monument and is one of the earliest examples of a Greek monument built according to the Corinthian order. In 1658 a French Capuchin monastery was founded around the monument itself. The monastery succeeded in purchasing the monument (which was known as the 'Lantern of Diogenes') from an Ottoman resident.The monastery was demolished during the Greek war of Independence in 1821 and the monument was subsequently restored by French architects Fran+â-ºois Boulanger and E. Loviot.
