Abstract (en)

Brief description of an island park in Wörlitz known as The Stein, and its richly-decorated pavilion known as the Villa Hamilton. Both were designed by Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorf for Prince Franz von Anhalt-Dessau (1788). The pavilion was strongly influenced by Sir William Hamilton. The Stein is in a deteriorated state, and Harris makes a plea for conservation funds.
