EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "The Appian Way, Rome, Italy," transports us back in time to the early 1900s. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available through Mary Evans Prints Online. The Appian Way, or the Via Appia, is an ancient road in Italy, first built in 312 BC, connecting Rome to the southern part of the Italian peninsula. In this photograph, we see a section of the historic road, lined with trees and dotted with quaint, rustic houses. The road winds gently through the rolling hills, leading the eye to the distant horizon. The photograph's antique charm is accentuated by the use of a lantern slide, a photographic medium popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The warm, golden tones of the image evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us to a time when travel was an adventure, and the world was a more mysterious place. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Rome during the early 1900s. We see horses and carts making their way along the road, while people go about their business in the background. The simple, rustic buildings and traditional Italian architecture add to the authenticity of the scene. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time that has long since passed. It invites us to explore the rich history of Rome and Italy, and to appreciate the beauty and charm of a bygone era.
