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. "On the vast circumference of the porticoes of Octavia, which were burnt under Titus , and restored first by Septimius Severus and then by Caracalla, there remain a few columns, which form the retreating perspective of an alley containing capitals engaged in buildings of brick, and an enormous entablature with a pediment, from the top of which there falls a rope line ending with the cross-bar of a street lantern . In the middle is the little church of St. Angelo in Pescheria , crowned by a covered belfry. It was from here that Cola de Rienzi, on the 19th of May, 1347 , after hearing mass, came forth escorted by his adherents and the Vicar Apostolic to ascend to the Capitol, where the populace whom he had convoked conferred upon him the lordship of the Roman Republic. Situated in a poor quarter with all sorts of incoherent masonry, the ruins of antiquity are connected on every side with buildings from the seventh to the thirteenth century.
