Rome

Wey, Francis, 1812-1882 · 1887 · London : J.S. Virtue & Co. · 7 pictures

Francis Wey's account of Rome, issued in English translation by J.S. Virtue & Co. in London in 1887 for readers and travellers interested in the city's art and antiquities. Wood engravings show classical monuments and ruins in situ — the Forum colonnade of Antoninus and Faustina, the inscribed Porta Maggiore, the Portico of Octavia with market figures, excavated tomb chambers — offering architectural detail, weathered masonry texture, and small figures useful for scale.
