EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-109843-0000" transports us back in time to the year 1907. The image captures a group of tourists exploring the enchanting Early Christian Basilica of Santo Stefano in Rome. The basilica, dating back to the 4th or 5th century, stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels that Rome has to offer. In this photograph, we see ruins and excavations surrounding the basilica, reminding us of its ancient origins. The composition focuses on a column within the ruins, drawing our attention towards it as an important archaeological find. It serves as a striking reminder of the grandeur that once existed within these walls. A group of individuals can be seen standing near the column, their presence adding life and scale to this historical scene. They are dressed in attire typical for tourists during that era – hats, long dresses for women, suits for men – reflecting both their curiosity about ancient sites and their desire to capture memories through photography. This print not only showcases an iconic landmark but also highlights themes such as tourism and exploration during what was known as "the grand tour". It invites us to imagine ourselves among those early travelers who embarked on journeys across Europe seeking knowledge and cultural experiences. While we may not know who exactly captured this momentous shot due to its attribution by Alinari simply stating "Unidentified Author" it remains an invaluable piece of artistry that allows us to glimpse into Rome's past with awe-inspiring clarity.
