EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient town of Pozzuoli, also known as Puteoli. Engraved by the talented William Richardson, this piece showcases his meticulous attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship. Taken from The Imperial Bible Dictionary published in the 1880s, this lithograph captures the essence of a bygone era. It offers a glimpse into the rich history of Pozzuoli, an Italian city located near Naples in Campania. The image portrays a picturesque coastal scene with charming fishing boats dotting the shoreline. The cityscape rises majestically behind them, showcasing its architectural splendor. One can almost feel the salty breeze coming off the sea and hear seagulls calling overhead. Pozzuoli's significance as an ancient port is evident in this print. Its strategic location made it a hub for trade and commerce during Roman times. Today, remnants of its glorious past can still be seen through well-preserved ruins such as amphitheaters and temples. This exquisite print not only serves as a visual delight but also sparks curiosity about our collective human heritage. It reminds us that beneath modern cities lie layers upon layers of history waiting to be explored and appreciated.
