EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in Rome during the 1930s by artist Donald McLeish, transports us to a moment of historical significance. The image showcases the breathtaking skyline of Rome from the Pincio hill, with the iconic dome of St. Peter's Basilica majestically rising on the opposite bank of the Tiber River. It is here that once stood the legendary gardens of Lucullus, where Valeria Messalina, wife of Emperor Claudius, infamously hosted her scandalous orgies. The photograph captures not only the architectural grandeur and religious landmarks but also reveals a glimpse into ancient Roman history and culture. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot frozen in time. As we explore this picture further, our eyes are drawn to a beautiful water fountain nestled within a shaded area. This drinking fountain serves as both a practical amenity and an artistic element within this picturesque landscape. Preserved through publication in Geographical Magazine Volume 5 by The Print Collector29 and supported by The Royal Geographical Society, this image offers us an opportunity to delve into Italy's rich heritage while appreciating Donald McLeish's keen eye for capturing its beauty. Let this remarkable print transport you back to Rome in the 1930s - an era where centuries-old architecture coexisted with modern society - inviting you to immerse yourself in its timeless charm.
