Restanten van het Huis van Meleagro in Pompeï c. 1860 - 1900

This black and white photograph, titled "Restanten van het Huis van Meleagro in Pompeï," was created by Italian photographer Giorgio Sommer between 1860 and 1900. The image showcases the ruins of the House of Meleager in Pompeii, a Roman city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The photograph depicts a stone structure with decorative lion figures, a remnant of the once grand house, and a view of the partially preserved columns of a portico behind it. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the ancient Roman city’s history and destruction and exemplifies Sommer's meticulous documentation of Pompeii's ruins.
