Indebted to you for the blog and especially for your transcriptions of the Diaries for Lear’s time in Rome. He twice visits the Protestant Cemetery (which I study), on April 1 and May 2 1860 – have you ever come across any drawing he may have made of it? I’d be grateful for any reference you can give me.
