EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning wall decoration from the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy. The photograph, taken in 1928, captures a piece of history that dates back to the 1st or 2nd century BC. The creator of this remarkable artwork remains unknown. The image is Plate XXVI, figure 69, from "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert. Published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. Berlin in 1928, this book provides valuable insights into historical color decoration. The wall decoration itself is an exquisite fresco mural that adorns one of Pompeii's buildings. Its intricate design and patterned motifs showcase the artistic brilliance prevalent during ancient Roman times.

Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and sophistication that characterized interior design and decoration during antiquity.

This print not only preserves an important piece of history but also serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries.
