What reading level is The Archaeological Album Or Museum of National Antiquities book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The floors of the Roman houses are often covered with fragments of the broken fresco-paintings of the walls, which also prove that this distant province was not deficient in the luxury and magnificence which characterised the mother-country. Mr. Roach Smith has a large collection of these fragments, containing a considerable variety of patterns, such as foliage, animals, arabesques, &c. Of the three specimens given at the foot of our plate (which are, of course, very much diminished from the or...iginals), the one to the right, with a figure of a man holding a staff in one hand and something resembling a basket in the other, was found at the back of Crosby Hall, which is on the site of what was evidently a very magnificent and extensive dwelling. The figure of the man, in common with the other parts of the pattern, a kind of trellis-work, was repeated over the face of the wall. The two other fragments of fresco given in our plate are from excavations in Southwark. The fine female head was evidently a portion of a historical or mythological painting on the wall of a room.
