A Wanderer in Venice

CHAPTER XVII
11/16

I reproduce this.
The apotheosis of S.Ursula, No.

576, is here interposed, very inappropriately, for she is not yet dead or a saint, merely a pious princess.
The story is then resumed--in No.

577--with a scene at Rome, as we know it to be by the castle of S.Angelo, in which Ursula and her prince are being blessed by the Pope Cyriacus, while an unending file of virgins extends into the distance.
In the next picture, reproduced opposite page 120, Ursula, in her nice great bed, in what is perhaps the best-known bedroom in the world, dreams of her martyrdom and sees an angel bringing her the rewards of fortitude.

The picture has pretty thoughts but poor colour.

Where the room is meant to be, I am not sure; but it is a very charming one.
