Légende

The Greek Court, at the Crystal Palace, 1854. Replicas of Ancient Greek sculptures in south London: Discobolus and Venus de Milo. 'The principal Greek statues and bas-reliefs are contained within the Greek Courts..The order is Grecian Doric; the proportions have been copied from the temple of Jupiter at Nemea, which are less massive than Doric buildings usually are. The centre and larger entrance leads into the principal Greek Court...It is square, and, being surrounded by porticoes, resembles a Greek agora, or place of public assembly, the forum, or market-place of the Romans'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
