Financed by the Société des Dilettanti, an association of young English art lovers who had all completed their Grand Tour, Chandler travelled through the Ionian Islands, Attica, Argolida and Aeneid, describing the sites, observing customs and bringing back for his patrons an important collection of antiquities - and already pre-romantic travel impressions.
