Summary: "Joseph Pennell's Pictures in the Land of Temples" by Joseph Pennell is a collection of lithographs accompanied by the artist's impressions and notes, created during his travels in Greece between March and June 1913. This book falls within the genre of art and travel writing, capturing the beauty and significance of ancient Greek architecture and landscapes.
