EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage lantern slide captures the Temple of Isis in Pompeii, Italy during the Victorian period. The intricate details of this ancient Roman temple are beautifully preserved in this image, showcasing the architectural brilliance of the time.
The Temple of Isis is a symbol of both religious devotion and historical significance, as it was one of the many structures buried under volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Despite being centuries old, the temple still stands tall and majestic in this photograph, a testament to its enduring legacy.
The Victorian era was known for its fascination with archaeology and classical antiquity, making this print a perfect representation of that cultural obsession. The delicate craftsmanship and ornate design of the temple are highlighted by the black-and-white tones of the lantern slide, adding an air of mystery and nostalgia to the scene.
As we gaze upon this early photograph from Pompeii, we are transported back in time to an era where exploration and discovery were at their peak. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has truly captured a moment frozen in history with this remarkable image.
