EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Gate of St. Paul and Pyramid of Gaius Cestius in Rome, Italy, circa 1909. The image showcases the magnificent pyramid built as a tomb for magistrate Gaius Cestius around 12 BC, standing near the ancient Aurelian Walls of Porta San Paolo. The photograph captures the essence of this historic location with its impressive architecture and walled city surroundings. In the foreground, we see a group of people - women, men, boys - admiring the grandeur before them. Their presence adds a sense of scale to the monumental structures that dominate the frame. The contrast between light and shadow creates a dramatic effect on this sunny day in Rome. The intricate details on both the gatehouse and pyramid are beautifully highlighted by cinematography techniques employed by Underwood & Underwood's Sun Sculpture stereoscope. As we gaze at this vintage print, we can't help but feel transported to another era; it evokes a feeling of awe towards ancient Roman civilization while also serving as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. This photograph is not only an artistic representation but also serves as an important historical document capturing one moment frozen in time amidst centuries-old walls and tombs.
