John Izard Middleton (1785-1849), a highly-regarded American Classical Archeologist, was born in South Carolina and educated at Cambridge University. He was the son of Arthur Middleton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, representing South Carolina. He spent much of his adult life travelling in France and Italy where, like many contemporary Grand Tourists, he sketched extensively. He traveled in Italy from 1808-1809, recording his observations and making sketches of the Magna Graecia, or the remains of Greek settlements in Italy. For his notes, he drew from ancient and modern sources, but considered his illustrations to provide the most accurate depictions of the sites. From the collection of William S.
