EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, depicting a group of affluent travelers on a grand tour, exploring the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Dressed in Victorian and Edwardian attire, these intrepid tourists pose in front of the iconic Roman amphitheater, their faces filled with awe and wonder. The year is uncertain, but this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when the Grand Tour was a rite of passage for the European elite. The Grand Tour was an educational journey through Europe, typically lasting several months, during which young aristocrats and intellectuals would visit famous sites, learn about art, history, and culture, and broaden their horizons. The group is led by a guide, who holds a lantern, casting a warm, inviting light over the scene. The lantern, a common accessory for tourists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, not only provided illumination but also added a romantic, nostalgic touch to the experience. The ruins of Pompeii, buried under volcanic ash and pumice for centuries, were rediscovered in the 18th century and quickly became a must-see destination for travelers on the Grand Tour. The ancient city, frozen in time since the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the Roman civilization. This vintage lantern slide, with its rich history and intriguing story, invites us to imagine the adventures of these travelers and the discoveries they made during their journey through the ancient world.
