Endnote 1 – Uncovering Nineveh

Layard’s sketches were put into final form for Nineveh and Its Remains by George Scharf, Jr. As Frederick N. Bohrer has pointed out, Scharf worked for Layard’s publisher and was “the primary artist for many of the book’s illustrations” (Orientalism and Visual Culture: Imagining Mesopotamia in Nineteenth-Century Europe [Cambridge University Press, 2003], p. 146).
