Through his lens, MacPherson transports us to a bygone era, where we can witness the grandeur and magnificence of iconic landmarks such as the Roman Forum, Coliseum, and Pantheon. In his masterpiece "Untitled (Ruins of Roman Forum), " created around 1867, MacPherson captures the haunting beauty of this once-thriving center of political and social life. The crumbling columns stand as silent witnesses to centuries past. The Coliseum, another architectural marvel frozen in time, is brought to life by MacPherson's lens in his work from c. 1867. Its majestic structure evokes a sense of awe and wonderment at its sheer scale and historical significance. Venturing further into Rome's treasures, we encounter the Pantheon through MacPherson's eyes. In his photograph from c. 1857 titled "Pantheon, " he showcases its remarkable dome that has stood for over two millennia – an enduring symbol of Roman engineering genius. MacPherson also turns his attention to lesser-known gems within Rome's vast archaeological landscape. His photograph "Roman Forum, Antonio and Faustina" offers a glimpse into an intimate corner adorned with intricate carvings that tell stories from antiquity. As we delve deeper into MacPherson's collection from c. 1857-1867, we discover more hidden wonders like the Basilica of Maxentius or a round fortress building reduced to ruins but still emanating strength and resilience. Trajan’s Column becomes an object of fascination through Macpherson’s camera lens; its base immortalized forever in one untitled piece capturing every intricate detail meticulously carved on it during ancient times.
