Summary
Edward Falkener's 1862 publication, 'Ephesus, and the Temple of Diana,' offers a pioneering reconstruction of Ephesian architecture based on his 1840s sketches during a trip through Anatolia. His detailed layouts and artistic talent, recognized with a medal at the 1855 Paris Universal Exhibition, contributed significantly to Victorian interest in ancient architecture. While Falkener's speculations about the Temple of Artemis' location were later disproven by John Turtle Wood in 1869, his work remains valuable for its historical context and artistic merit. The publication is a reissue from the Cambridge Library Collection.
