Giorgio Sommer's "Straat met restanten van graftombes in Pompeï" (c. 1860-1900) is a black and white photograph depicting a street in Pompeii, Italy, with the ruins of ancient tombs on either side. The photo captures the street in a state of desolation, providing a glimpse into the life and destruction of the ancient Roman city, destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. This photograph showcases Sommer's skill in capturing historical sites with a focus on detail and historical significance. This albumen print is housed in the Rijksmuseum.
