| Object history | According to Rodney Searight: - `Maggs, Feb.1970, £24' [with SD.1219] |
| Historical context | The temple in the background is intended to be the Temple of Bacchus at Baalbek. Kitchener joined the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1874, and in 1883, he devoted two months' leave to a survey of the Sinai Peninsula. He may have visited Baalbek on either occasion. SD.1219 and SD.1220 were presumably intended for reproduction in a periodical. |
