A Visiting Artist at Nineveh in 1850

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  12 April 2016

Extract

Attentive readers of Layard's Discoveries in the Ruins of Nineveh and Babylon will have observed that four of the lithographic plates and a number of small woodcuts in the text are taken from sketches by S. C. Malan, and that the Preface conveys ‘grateful thanks and acknowledgments’, among others, ‘to the Rev. S. C. Malan, who has kindly allowed me the use of his masterly sketches’. A fortunate chance has lately brought the writer of this article into communication with the artist's family, in whose possession his works are still happily preserved. Mr. Walter Malan, his grandson, has very generously allowed not only examination of the drawings contained in the bound volume entitled Armenia and Nineveh, but the reproduction of those which accompany this article; the first care of which must be that of renewing to him, for a like privilege, the thanks which Layard expressed to his grandfather.
