253. (41.) Interior Court of the Ducal Palace of Venice, with Giant's Stair. (R.)
Sketched in 1841, and perhaps giving some characters which more finished drawing would lose.
(42.) The Piazza d' Erbe, Verona. (R.)
Sketched in 1841, showing general effect and pretty grouping of the later Veronese buildings.
(43.) Piazza de' Signori, Verona.
Sketched last year. Note the bill advertising Victor Hugo's "Homme qui rit," pasted on the wall of the palace.
The great tower is of the Gothic time. Note its noble sweep of delicately ascending curves sloped inwards.
(44.) Gate of Ruined School of St. John, Venice. (Photograph.)
Exquisite in floral sculpture, and finish of style.
