Note 123 — Chapter II · SCULPTURE.
Walter Armstrong translation
This impression is still more strongly felt on glancing through the plates in which Sir H. Layard has reproduced in their entirety the series of sculptures which we can only show in fragmentary fashion. Compare, for example, the Panathenaic cortége with two processions taken from the palace of Sennacherib, the grooms leading horses, and servants carrying fruits and other comestibles (Monuments, 2nd series, plates 7–9), and the triumphal march of the Assyrian army with its chariots (ib. plates 47–49).
