Magic lantern slide circa 1900.Victorian/Edwardian.Social History. The Beauties of Venice,photographs created in 1888 Joseph John William ACWORTH F.I.C., F.C.S.J. The Beauties of Venice. Courtyard of the Ducal Palace and the Cupolas of St. Mark's. The courtyard is embraced on our right, left, and behind by the Doge's Palace, and is faced by the colonnade through which we have just passed. Here we get a good idea of its interesting grouping of those Byzantine cupolas towering above the cathedral. The courtyard was begun at the close of the fifteenth century, but only partially completed. Its form is not symmetrical, owing to the previous existence of surrounding buildings°' In the courtyard are two bronze founts dating from 1566 and 1559 [B] magnificently decorated in relief with the figures and ornamental designs, and in remarkably fine preservation.
