Forum and Coliseum

Black and white photograph of a cityscape view of Rome, looking towards the Coliseum in the distance, with the ruins of the Forum Romanum in the foreground. With a classical temple like building on the left, and three lone standing pillars in the centre of the picture. Pasted onto a page in the album, with a manuscript caption on the bottom white edge.

Reference: Encyclopaedia Britannica, 15th edition, Vol. IV. The three pillars are the remains of the temple of Castor and Pollux. The Arch of Titus is visible behind it.

Poor condition. Yellowed significantly centre and left, grey discolouration top, patches of brown mould centre, two straight line marks, right, where the photograph has pressed against a photograph on the oppostie page. Slight repair needed. Production method: gelatin silver print.
