1858 Ercolano Giacomo Plate 22 1794 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable piece of literary history, titled "Tesoro letterario di Ercolano ossia La reale officina dei papiri ercolanesi" by Giacomo Castrucci. Created in 1858 through the intricate art of etching, this particular plate (number 22) transports us back to ancient times. The Tesoro letterario di Ercolano refers to the literary treasure discovered in Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town buried under volcanic ash during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. This collection holds immense historical significance as it contains preserved papyrus scrolls that offer valuable insights into various aspects of life and culture during that era. Castrucci's meticulous etching technique beautifully captures the essence of this extraordinary find. The image invites viewers to explore the real workshop where these precious papiri were carefully studied and restored. It is a testament to human curiosity and dedication towards preserving our past. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how literature transcends time and connects us with our ancestors. It serves as a reminder that knowledge is not confined within contemporary boundaries but can be unearthed from centuries ago.
