Below the drawing Hillier describes the context in handwritten text: 'They come alongside, when permitted, and offer
for sale eggs, figs, Turkish delight, fish, etc. The coinage current here is most varied, some of it having been in circulation apparently ever since the Fall of Rome. Odd, that what one Lemnos boatman gives you in change won't be received by the next one at any price!'.
