Pompeii on the Grand Tour, 1800
This is Pompeii in the age of Bourbon excavations, a buried Roman town half-revealed by the work of mid‑18th‑century diggers and visited by Grand Tour artists. The walk shows half‑cleared streets running into banks of earth, newly exposed temples and theatres, spoil heaps and tool shelters, with Vesuvius smoking beyond the open ruins.
33 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Pompeii as it stood in 1800 (“Pompeii”).
