EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white image captures the ruins of the ancient Greek theatre at Taurominium, situated on the eastern coast of Sicily, Italy. The theatre, a prominent tourist attraction and archaeological site, dates back to the 3rd century BC and is believed to have been used for various cultural and social activities, including plays and spectacles. The majestic ruins, set against the backdrop of Mount Etna, the active volcano, add to the dramatic allure of the scene. The image was published in the Illustrated London News in 1858, providing a glimpse into the past for those in Britain and beyond. The intricate engraving showcases the architectural beauty and historical significance of the ancient amphitheatre, which continues to draw visitors from around the world. The theatre at Taurominium, also known as the Ancient Greek Theatre of Taormina or the Ancient Theatre of Messina, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece and the enduring appeal of archaeology and history. The print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our past, while also showcasing the breathtaking natural beauty of Sicily and its volcanic landscape.
