EDITORS COMMENTS
On the Road to Vesuvius (east), Italy, c1909. This print takes us back in time to witness the awe-inspiring landscape of Italy's Campania region. The unknown creator skillfully captures a misty hillside adorned with religious architecture and surrounded by rolling hills. A group of men, their figures barely visible through the haze, traverse the rugged terrain on horse-drawn carts. In this remote location, where history and nature intertwine, Mount Vesuvius looms in the distance. Known for its devastating eruption in AD 79 that obliterated ancient Roman cities like Pompeii and Herculaneum, this active volcano stands as a powerful reminder of both destruction and resilience. The image is presented on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood – an innovative device that allows viewers to experience a three-dimensional effect when looking at photographs. Through this lens, we are transported into the past, immersing ourselves in the beauty and grandeur of early 20th-century Italy. The Rose Stereograph Company has preserved this remarkable moment for posterity - capturing not only a geographical feature but also evoking emotions tied to adventure and exploration. As we gaze upon this vintage print in black and white tones, it serves as a testament to human curiosity and our enduring fascination with natural wonders.
