介绍（中）	Girault俯瞰着著名的古希腊卫城的全景，主要是被称为Frankish Tower的高大建筑，这是几个世纪以来山顶城堡中众多拜占庭、法兰克和奥斯曼建筑之一。希腊独立后（1832年），当吉罗到访时，大多数非古典建筑都被清除了，大部分遗址被瓦砾覆盖，塔于1875年被拆除。在Girault的镜像视图中，塔的两侧是帕特农神庙（左侧）和Propylaea Girault将他在卫城的艰巨工作（从计算暴露时间到在不同条件下操纵有毒化学物质）描述为一场有回报但具有挑战性的摄影活动："世界上没有什么比雅典卫城所包含的一切更神奇或完美了！正如你所猜测的，那里发生了最激烈的战斗，上帝知道我是如何竭尽全力夺取我的战利品的。"
介绍（英）	Girault’s panoramic view of the famed ancient Greek Acropolis is dominated by the tall building known as the Frankish Tower, one of many Byzantine, Frankish, and Ottoman structures added to the hilltop citadel over the centuries. After Greek independence (1832), most non-Classical features were cleared away—when Girault visited, much of the site was covered in rubble—and the tower was demolished in 1875. In Girault’s mirror-image view, the tower is flanked by the Parthenon (on the left) and the Propylaea. Girault described his demanding work at the Acropolis (from calculating exposure times to manipulating noxious chemicals in variable conditions) as a rewarding yet challenging photographic campaign: "Nothing in the world is as marvelous or perfect as all that is contained by the Athenian acropolis! As you might guess, the strongest battle occurred there, and God knows how I exerted myself to take my share of the spoils."
