Susa, at the foot of Mont Cenis, 1864. Creator: Mason Jackson
Susa, at the foot of Mont Cenis, [Italy], 1864. View of '...the point where the modem road crosses the old one. It shows the cathedral and the...three entrances into Italy; the ancient one, under the arch of Cottius, dedicated to a Roman Emperor (that in the right of the Engraving); that which passes under the arch in the centre...and the present great road, made by a French Emperor. Susa is an exceedingly picturesque and interesting town, containing about 4000 inhabitants, is very well built, and decidedly clean for an Italian town; its situation is magnificent, being surrounded by craggy eminences, between which are deep gorges through which the road winds with a regular ascent, and down the bottoms of which the river Doria-Riparia...comes dashing and foaming among the rocks...on its way to the plains below. There is a huge mass of ruins on a rocky ridge which overhangs the town, the remains of Fort la Brunette, formerly considered one of the strongest fortresses in Italy...Above...tower up mountain upon mountain, the largest, called the Roche Melon, shuts in the valley from the plains of Italy. The bases and lower slopes of these mountains are covered with farms, rich woods, pastures, and vineyards'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print by Mason Jackson captures the beauty and history of Susa, at the foot of Mont Cenis in Italy, dating back to 1864. The image showcases the town's picturesque landscape, with its cathedral and three entrances into Italy - each representing a different era of history.
Susa, with its population of around 4000 inhabitants, is described as well-built and clean for an Italian town. Surrounded by craggy eminences and deep gorges through which the river Doria-Riparia flows, Susa offers a magnificent setting that is both captivating and awe-inspiring.
The ruins of Fort la Brunette on a rocky ridge overlooking the town serve as a reminder of its storied past as one of the strongest fortresses in Italy. As mountains tower above in the background, including Roche Melon which closes off the valley from the plains below, one can't help but be enchanted by this enchanting scene frozen in time.
Mason Jackson's keen eye for detail and composition brings out the charm and character of Susa in this historical photograph from "Illustrated London News" in 1864. It serves as a window into a world long gone yet still preserved through his lens.
