Border Tower, c1830s. Creator: William Dyce.

Légende

Border Tower, c1830s. The building in the etching has a very distinctive feature-a ramp that circles around it, giving access to the top of the building to farm animals. It does not look British and if the title is correct, it cannot refer to the Scottish borders. The image is more likely to have been worked up from one of the many sketches that Dyce made whilst travelling through France, Switzerland and Italy on his way to and from Rome in 1832.
