Narrative: Under the direction of Prof. d'Espouy, the graduates of the famous Paris school of art, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, measured, rendered and shaded the views of the famous monuments of ancient Greece and Rome. These drawing were then reproduced by a 19th C. process called heliography. Machine translation of the original French narrative: According to Pausianas, the Athenians would have erected a sanctuary to the Wingless Victory, that is to say to the victory without wings, Hoping she couldn't fly away and would stay forever among them. This temple, of small size, is made of marble penthelic; the ironic capitals are supported by monolithic columns; it is located on a platform to the right of the Propylaea, and belongs to the best period of Greek architecture, that is to say to the fifth century. We can hardly specify the date: Beulé, based on various reasons, and considering in particular that the building is presented obliquely compared to the main entrance to the Acropolis, think it was built in the time of Cimon, and that Mnesicles adopted for the Propylaea a layout which is not symmetrical, in order to preserve the temple of the Apterous Victory.
