EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Discovering the Past: The Excavation of Herculaneum and the Grand Theatre Unearthed from Volcanic Ash" 2.. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases the remarkable excavation of the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum, which was buried under volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The image portrays the meticulous process of unearthing the city, with workers carefully removing layers of ash and debris to reveal the hidden treasures beneath. The ruins of the grand theatre, which could accommodate up to 10,000 spectators, stand proudly in the foreground, a testament to the architectural prowess of the ancient Romans. The theatre, adorned with intricate statues and urns, was a central hub of cultural and social life in Herculaneum. The engraving also reveals the discovery of a statue, which adds to the sense of awe and wonder at the unearthed treasures. The excavation of Herculaneum and its neighbouring city, Pompeii, revolutionized the study of ancient Roman civilization and provided invaluable insights into their daily life, art, and architecture. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history and heritage that lay hidden beneath the volcanic ash for centuries. The intricate details of the engraving, with its handcoloured hues, transport us back in time and provide a fascinating window into the past. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying our historical and cultural heritage for future generations.
