Seller's Description:
Very Good in Good dust jacket. 0517538598. Some of the DJ has adhered to base of spine. Else very minor shelfwear. DJ has tears, rubbing and some moisture stains. DJ spine is sunned and faded.; An Official Publication of the American Museum of Natural History, New York; 305 pages; Oversized. This is the story of man's restoration of Pompeii to the world from the earliest excavations to the most recent soundings. Each step of the archaeological history brought about a clearer picture of life as it was. The discoveries also had their impact on the times--"Pompeian fever" swept 18th and 19th century Europe. This is also the story of the men who dominated the digs--the initial probings of Prince d'Elbeuf, the adventures--amorous and otherwise--of the Hamiltons, and of the dedicated Italians such as Fiorelli and Spinazzola who eventually brought systematic order to the digs. As a pictorial reinforcement to the text, the book presents a display of views and overviews, reconstructions and artistic interpretations, line drawings and etchings, engravings, vintage photography, and contemporary photographs.

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good jacket. Illustrated with color photographs of paintings, murals and sculptures throughout. 305 pages. Tall 4to, red cloth, dust wrapper, worn and chipped. New York: Clarkson N. Potter, (1979). Red dot on top edge, still a very good copy, just a little rubbed, in a very good(-) dust wrapper.
This book was published in 1979, the 1900th anniversary of the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Full of wonderful photos and history of this well preserved slice of ancient life and art. I recommend this for anyone interested in this historical event and the cultural time capsule that came about from the burial of these two cities.
