Richly illustrated with 81 engraved plates, the book serves as a comprehensive guide to the archaeological wonders of Pompeii, a Roman city famously preserved under volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius. Written during a time when archaeology was colored by romantic notions, the book sheds light not only on the individual finds and excavated structures but also on the archaeological methods of the era.
