Part of Souvenir Folder of Library of Congress (ALA0004969). Caption reads: "GANYMEDE, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, WASHINGTON, D. C. TENNYSON-GANYMEDE. When Jupiter came down to earth, to seek a successor to Hebe as cupbearer to the Gods, he took the form of an eagle, and flying over Mount Ida, saw the Trojan Prince Ganymede, whom he carried off to Olympus. Tennyson in his 'Palace of Art' describes, as among the pictures decorating its walls, one of Ganymede borne aloft by the eagle- Or else flushed Ganymede, his rosy thigh / Half buried in the Eagle's down, / Sole as a flying star shot thro' the sky / Above the pillar'd town."
