Description
of the subjects depicted in the print:

From the original description:
In the interior of Sicily, and as nearly as possible in the centre of the island, there rises a huge, isolated mats of limestone rock, with a flattened summit of considerable extent—an undulating expanse fashioned somewhat in the shape of a horse-shoe. Perched on this aerial summit, verily " a city set on a hill," is a considerable town, a town which veils, under its modem designation, a name familiar to all lovers of poetry. This is Castro Giovanni, the ancient Enna; the modern name being simply a corruption of Kasr Janni (Castrum Henna), the name given to the place by the Saracens after it became one of their strongholds in the ninth century A.D.
