EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable model of the ruins of Pompeii, housed in the National Museum in Naples, Italy. The model was created around 1909 by an unknown artist under the guidance of Giuseppe Fiorelli, who supervised the excavations at Pompeii from 1861. Pompeii itself was an ancient Roman city that met its tragic fate when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, burying it under layers of volcanic ash. This intricate model provides a glimpse into what life might have been like in this once-thriving city. The photograph invites viewers to explore every detail of this miniature world: from the intricately designed housing structures to the grand amphitheater and theater that were central to Roman entertainment. The elevated view captured by the camera allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also gives a sense of scale and perspective. Displayed on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood, this vintage print transports us back to early 20th century cinematography techniques. It offers a unique opportunity for history enthusiasts and archaeology lovers alike to immerse themselves in ancient Roman culture. With its historic significance and stunning visual appeal, this photograph is not just a mere depiction but rather an invitation to step into another time - where ruins tell stories and imagination takes flight.
