Remarks | Van der Hem's drawing is reproduced in the 1904 edition of Bordeaux, pl. XXXIV. In this view of the Garonne River close to Lormont one can easily discern the river banks at Bordeaux with the Pillars of Tutela to the right: built in the 3rd century and originally comprising 84 Corinthian columns, the edifice was demolished in 1677 |
