EDITORS COMMENTS
Up Vesuvius by Rail: This print captures the historical moment when negotiating the treacherous lava flow on the upper slopes of Mount Vesuvius became a much less exhausting business. In the 1880s, a funicular railway was constructed to transport visitors up the volcano, forever changing the way people experienced this iconic Italian landmark.
The construction of this railway was so significant that it was commemorated in popular song, highlighting its importance in history. Before its existence, travelers had to navigate dangerous terrain to reach the summit of Vesuvius. But thanks to this innovative mode of transport, tourists could now safely and comfortably make their way up the mountain.
This image from 1914 showcases not only the impressive engineering feat of building a railway on such challenging terrain but also provides a glimpse into how transportation has evolved over time. The funicular on Vesuvius is a testament to human ingenuity and determination in overcoming obstacles for both practical and recreational purposes.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured this piece of history beautifully, allowing us to appreciate both the natural beauty of Vesuvius and the man-made marvel that made it accessible to all.
