Straat met restanten van graftombes in Pompeï c. 1860 - 1900

"Straat met restanten van graftombes in Pompeï" is a photograph by Giorgio Sommer from the late 19th century, depicting the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, specifically the "Strada delle Tombe" or "Street of Tombs." This black and white albumen print captures the ruins of the city, including a long, straight road lined with the remains of tombs. Sommer's work, like other photographs of Pompeii, offers a glimpse into the past, documenting the architecture and urban planning of a lost civilization. The image serves as a reminder of the fragility of human history and the power of photography to preserve it.
