EDITORS COMMENTS
The Stabian Baths in Pompeii, captured in this vintage print by Giorgio Sommer, transport us back to the ancient Roman era. Dating back to the 2nd century BC and extending into the 1st century AD, these thermal baths were an integral part of daily life for the citizens of Pompeii. The photograph was taken between 1861 and 1865, during a time when archaeological excavations were uncovering the remarkable ruins of this once-thriving city. The image showcases the grandeur and complexity of the Stabian Baths' architecture, with its imposing columns and intricate hydraulic structures. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at how well-preserved some elements are. The mural paintings adorning the walls still retain their vibrant colors despite centuries buried under volcanic ash. It is a testament to both ancient craftsmanship and modern preservation efforts that such delicate artwork has survived. This print serves as a window into Pompeii's rich past—a reminder of its status as one of Italy's most important archaeological sites. It invites us to explore not only these magnificent thermal baths but also other excavations, monuments, and complexes within Pompeii's vast archaeological area. Giorgio Sommer's work captures not just a moment frozen in time but also our fascination with history itself. This image stands as a testament to his skill as a photographer and his dedication to documenting Italy's cultural heritage. Displayed proudly on any wall or mantelpiece, this print transports viewers back through time—immersing them in the beauty and wonder of ancient Rome while paying homage to those who have worked tirelessly to preserve it for future generations.
