Facade of the new Baths of Pompeii 1865

This photograph, titled "Facade of the new Baths of Pompeii," was taken in 1865 by Italian photographer Roberto Rive. It shows a detailed view of the ruins of the ancient Roman baths in Pompeii, Italy. The image showcases the weathered facade, with its crumbling columns and the remains of intricate frescoes. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offers a glimpse into the architectural grandeur of Pompeii, frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
