MacPherson's precise delineation and feeling for chiaroscuro elaborate the majesty of the ancient ruins and provide an experience of the place, leading the Art Journal to say: "You are struck with surprise at seeing so much that you never saw before. . . . In the light and shade of these ruins there is a sentiment which, with the stern truth of the photograph, affects the mind more deeply than a qualified essay in painting."
 
The Art Journal, New Series I, November 1862, 227.
