Artifacts of Pompeii
In this gallery you’ll uncover eighteen black and white images of Artifacts of Pompeii. They are from two books on Pompeii written in the mid to late 1800’s. You’ll find drawings of candelabras, tragic masks, specimens of paintings, and more. It wasn’t until the 19th century, particularly under Giuseppe Fiorelli, that more methodical approaches were adopted. Archaeologists began to carefully clear away layers of volcanic ash and pumice, revealing buildings, frescoes, mosaics, and everyday items like pottery and tools. Modern excavations continue to employ scientific methods, meticulously documenting and conserving artifacts as they are carefully removed from the protective volcanic layers.
