EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the Re-Construction of the Mausoleum of Hadrian, now known as the Castle of Saint Angelo in Rome. The image is an engraving from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History Vol. II - Rome" by Edmund Ollier, published in 1890. The photograph showcases the ancient beauty and grandeur of Rome's historic architecture. The Mausoleum of Hadrian, originally built as a tomb for Emperor Hadrian in AD 139, was later transformed into a fortress during medieval times. Standing tall against the backdrop of Italy's picturesque landscape, this monochrome illustration captures both its imposing presence and delicate details. The intricate engravings bring out every architectural element with precision and clarity. From its towering cylindrical structure to its ornate decorations, each aspect tells a story about ancient Roman craftsmanship and artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time through Edmund Ollier's lens, we are transported to an era where empires rose and fell but left behind enduring legacies that continue to fascinate us today. This print serves as a testament to our human desire to preserve our past while embracing progress—a concept beautifully encapsulated within these historical pages.
