EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Aerial View of Pompeii: Grand Theater, Small Theater, Quadriportico dei Teatri, and Surrounding Regio and Insulae This chromolithograph, titled "Aerial View of Pompeii: Grand Theater, Small Theater, Quadriportico dei Teatri, and Surrounding Regio and Insulae," is an exquisite representation of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii as it appeared in the late 19th century. The image is a reproduction of an illustration by S. De Stefano, published in "Pompeii: Views and Restorations (Pompeii: Essaies et Restaurations)" by Antonio Niccolini. Antonio Niccolini was a renowned architect and archaeologist, grandson of the famous architect Antonio Niccolini Sr., who played a significant role in the excavation and restoration of Pompeii. This publication, published by Fausto Niccolini in Naples in 1898, showcases the progress of the restoration efforts at the time. The aerial view offers a comprehensive perspective of the city, revealing the grandeur of the Large Theatre, the smaller, more intimate Theatre, and the Quadriportico dei Teatri. The Quadriportico, or Four-Sided Portico, is a remarkable architectural structure that once housed various shops, gardens, and public spaces. The image also highlights the intricate layout of the surrounding regio (districts) and insulae (apartment buildings), providing a sense of the urban fabric of Pompeii. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of the chromolithograph serve as a testament to the enduring fascination with the ancient city and its rich history. This image is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the archaeological and architectural achievements of the past, as well as the restoration efforts of the late 19th century. It remains an essential resource for scholars, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history and culture of Pompeii.
