Edition Notes
Illustration from Homer, The Odyssey, trans. by Alexander Pope, 2 vols. (New York: William Durell, 1812). Stephens notes that "Some of these items may have been made for an earlier edition." However, Durell's 1808 edition featured "wood cuts, newly designed and engraved by A. Anderson."
