EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the exterior of the Small Theatre or Odeon in Pompeii, Italy, as it appeared in the late 19th century. The image, taken from Antonio Niccolini's "Pompeii: Views and Restorations" published in 1898, was created by the skilled hand of Stefano De Stefano. The Small Theatre or Odeon, located in Pompeii's archaeological site, is a remarkable example of ancient Roman architecture. The structure, with its columned facade, once served as a venue for musical and theatrical performances. In this illustration, we can see the columns lining the street leading up to the theatre, as well as a plinth for a statue. The roofed theatre is partially obscured by the columns, adding to the intrigue and mystery of the scene. Antonio Niccolini was a prominent figure in the archaeological world, being the grandson of the renowned architect Antonio Niccolini Sr. His publication, "Pompeii: Views and Restorations," was a significant contribution to the study and preservation of the ancient city. The chromolithographs in the book provided a detailed and accurate record of the site as it was being excavated and restored. This particular image, Exterior of the Small Theatre or Odeon, Pompeii VIII.7.19, is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Pompeii and the Roman civilization. The columns, plinth, and theatre itself are all remnants of a bygone era, frozen in time and beautifully captured by De Stefano's illustration.
