EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the old wheel tracks on the streets of Stabia, a Roman town buried under volcanic ash during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The image, taken around 1909 by an unknown creator, showcases the ancient architecture and ruins that have been preserved over centuries. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Pompeii, Italy, with its intricate housing structures and remnants of a once-thriving civilization. The aged track marks left behind by countless chariots tell stories of bustling streets and vibrant life in this ancient Roman town. The black and white cinematography adds to the nostalgic charm of this vintage piece. It invites viewers to step back in time and imagine what it was like to walk these very streets thousands of years ago. Displayed on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood, this print takes us on an archaeological journey through time. As we explore each detail within the frame – from background people going about their day to the ruined buildings standing as testaments to history – we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us. With its historic significance and artistic composition, this photograph is not only a visual delight but also serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction, traces of our past can be found etched into every corner.
