Engraving of a dinner in Crisso at the Bishop of Salona's, by Edward Dodwell

This reproduction of an engraving depicts a scene of life, a dinner in Crisso, in the residence of the Bishop of Salona. The illustration offers a detailed ethnographic study, capturing customs of the time such as the ritual washing of hands. The composition features various characters in diverse costumes (Albanian, Greek, priest) in a gallery opening onto a magnificent landscape of the Gulf of Corinth (Crissa).

Taken from Edward Dodwell's collection Views in Greece, this plate testifies to the author's interest not only in ancient ruins, but also in the living traditions of early 19th-century Greece. The work accurately documents a social scene, offering a rare glimpse into the hospitality and daily habits of the time, and highlighting the persistence of ancient customs.

This print will appeal to enthusiasts of history, anthropology, and travel writing. It is not merely decorative, but constitutes a true document that invites observation and discussion, ideal for enriching a living room, dining room, or cabinet of curiosities.
