Entitled: "Pompeii, Voie de Pomp̩e. Monument de Marmaria" photographed by Firmin-Eug̬ne Le Dien, 1853. Between 1852 and 1853 Le Dien traveled to Italy with the painters L̩on G̩rard and Alexandre de Vonne. On a journey to Rome, Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast, Le Dien produced architectural photographs of monuments and landscapes using the process of waxed paper negatives invented by Le Gray. This view of Pompey's Lane is a masterful evocation of the street as a visual marker of history. It bears the stamp Le Dien et Gustave Le Gray, attesting to the successful collaboration between amateur and professional. Le Gray likely printed his prot̩g̩'s negative in his own Paris studio. The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 13 to 20 feet ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC by the Osci or Oscans and was captured by the Romans in 80 BC. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was probably approximately 20, 000, and the city had a complex water system, an amphitheater, gymnasium and a port. Pompeii has been a tourist destination for over 250 years. Today it has UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.
