| | Photographic souvenirs of Pompeii (1880) - Checklist |
Contextual notes:
These four hand colored photographs, from an album of twelve, in the Bibliothèque nationale de France are by Auguste Lesouëf (1829-1906). They were produced as souvenirs for the many tourists who visited the excavations.
The Roman city of Pompeii was covered by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D but in the nineteenth century Fausto and Felice Niccolini were documenting the extensive archaeological excavations and published the results in their four volume work Le case ed i monumenti di Pompei disegnati e descritti that was published between 1854 and 1897. |
