Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you.

Narrative: Under the direction of Prof. d'Espouy, the graduates of the famous Paris school of art, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, measured, rendered and shaded the views of the famous monuments of ancient Greece and Rome. These drawing were then reproduced by a 19th C. process called heliography. From an old narrative: Triangular Forum. This Piazza was embellished with three Porticoes, supported by an hundred Doric Columns : and judging from the simplicity of its decorations, Antiquaries suppose it must have existed before the ara when the architectural taste of Magna Græcia became subservient to that of Rome. The Fountain of Travertino, however, placed close to one of the Columns of the Portico of Entrance, has no affinity with Grecian architecture: but this circumstance only proves that the Forum in question was embellished by the Romans: as does the name of Marcellus on the Pedestal found here. The ingress and egress to this Forum were capable of being closed in case of civil commotions: and therefore, perhaps, we may be justified in concluding that this was either the first-built Forum, or the ancient Acropolis, of Pompeli; especially as the ruins of the Temple of Hercules, still seen in this Forum, are evidently of much higher antiquity than any other Pompeian edifice yet restored to light. The excavation of the Triangular Forum, in 1796. produced three Human Skeletons (on one of which was found two Gold Armlets); a small Ring, and a large number of Silver Coins.
