EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph, we behold the Statue of the Public Priestess and Matron of the Fullers Eumachia, situated on the eastern side of the ancient Roman Forum in Pompeii. The image is an exquisite reproduction from the "Pompeii: Views and Restorations" publication by Antonio Niccolini, grandson of the renowned architect Antonio Niccolini Sr. The statue, a masterpiece of Roman civilization, depicts Eumachia, a public priestess and matron, who was revered as the protector of the fullers' guild. The fullers were an essential part of Pompeian society, responsible for the cleansing and dyeing of textiles. Eumachia's statue stood proudly in the building that bore her name, which was a significant gathering place for the fullers' community. The intricately detailed image showcases the statue's elegant drapery, adorned with intricate patterns and folds, and the serene expression on Eumachia's face. The statue's pedestal, surrounded by lush greenery and ornate architectural elements, further emphasizes its grandeur. This reproduction, created by the skilled hand of G. Autoriello, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Pompeii. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the chromolithograph bring the statue and its surroundings to life, transporting us back in time to the heart of the Roman civilization. The "Pompeii: Views and Restorations" publication, which includes this image, was a groundbreaking work that showcased the latest research and restoration efforts on the ancient ruins of Pompeii. It remains an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the fascinating history of this ancient city.
