EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Rome, showcasing the impressive Sewer, Cloaca Maxima. Dating back to around 100 BC, this remarkable engineering feat is a testament to the ingenuity of the Roman civilization. The image captures the grandeur of this archaeological site, with its intricate network of channels and ducts that served as a drainage and sewage system for the city. The bridge spanning over the sewer adds an element of architectural beauty amidst its utilitarian purpose. Geoff Garvey's expert photography brings out every detail of this historical marvel. The play of light and shadow accentuates the texture and depth of the stone structure, while also highlighting its sheer scale. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of Rome's advanced waterworks but also how civilizations throughout history have grappled with managing their waste systems. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, people recognized the importance of efficient infrastructure for public health and sanitation. With Geoff Garvey's work now out of copyright, we can appreciate his skillful capture without any limitations on sharing or reproduction. This print truly allows us to immerse ourselves in history by exploring one aspect that played a crucial role in shaping ancient Rome's urban landscape - its sewers.
