The view shows a katabothra or underground river tunnel at Lake Kopais in Bœotia.
Dodwell says in the text that the one pictured is between the ruins of Akaiphnion and the modern town of Talanda, also that such subterranean passages were known by the ancient authors Strabo, Pausanias and Pliny, the latter describing how every nine years the lake would flood and these passages allowed the water to escape; Strabo considers they may have been caused by earthquakes.

The view shows the small lake upon whose shores can be seen vestiges of the ancient city of Stymphalos, once one of the largest towns in Arkadia, founded by Elatos son of Arkas.
Dodwell explains that the lake is fed by two streams or springs, of which the Fountain of Stymphalos at the foot of Mount Cyllene is the most noted. The waters escape from the lake by means of a katabothra or subterranean passages; the underground river emerging at Argos where it is named Erasines, finally meeting the Argolic gulf through the marshes of Lerna.
Dodwell then mentions that the lake was the site of one of the labours of Hercules the slaying of the man-eating Stymphalian birds, and comments that he obviously did his work well as there are now only ducks and common wild fowl at the lake. Bright and clean.
