Pompeii was still being uncovered as these maps appeared, each plan adding streets, houses and public buildings to the excavated city. City maps and house plans pick out the forum, baths, gates and domestic courts, and regional panoramas link the ruins with Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. The prints range from architectural restorations to views after Alberto Pisa and Augustine Fitzgerald, taking in the House of the Faun, the house of the Vettii, the gladiatorial barracks and the Street of Tombs. Decorative panels, lamps, vessels and bronzes show the furnishings of the rooms, and some comparative plates set Pompeian interiors beside Roman remains elsewhere.
