EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Triangular Forum, a remarkable open public space in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. The ruins of this once-thriving city, located near modern Naples in Italy, were tragically destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Taken around 1909 by George Rose as part of his "Studies through the Stereoscope" collection, this image offers a glimpse into the archaeological wonders and rich history that lie within Pompeii's walls. The photo is intended to be viewed on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the depth and detail captured by Rose. The composition showcases towering pillars and columns that stand as silent witnesses to Pompeii's glorious past. A lone figure can be seen amidst these ancient remnants, adding a sense of scale and emphasizing the grandeur of this historical site. George Rose's expertise behind the camera shines through in this photograph as he expertly captures both the architectural beauty and haunting atmosphere that permeates throughout Pompeii. With its intricate details preserved for centuries, this print serves as a testament to human ingenuity while also reminding us of nature's devastating power. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of humanity's greatest achievements now reduced to ruins – an awe-inspiring reminder of our own impermanence against forces beyond our control.
