EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the excavations of 1864 in Pompei, a momentous archaeological endeavor under the guidance of Inspector Fiorelli. The image, drawn by Emile Bayard, beautifully captures the essence of this historical event. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a time when ancient ruins were being unearthed and secrets from the past were revealed. The meticulous detail in Bayard's engraving allows us to witness the careful excavation process taking place on site. We can almost hear the sounds of shovels digging into the earth and feel the excitement that must have filled the air as artifacts from Pompei's rich history were discovered. This particular illustration was created to accompany Marc Monnier's text "Pompei and the Pompeians" providing visual context for readers eager to learn about this extraordinary city frozen in time. It is part of "Le tour du monde" an edited collection by Edouard Charton that aimed to bring different cultures and their histories closer to its audience. As we admire this remarkable piece of art, let us appreciate not only Bayard's skillful rendering but also reflect on how these excavations have contributed immensely to our understanding of ancient Rome. This print serves as a reminder that through archaeology, we can connect with civilizations long gone and gain valuable insights into our shared human heritage.
