The Colosseum in Rome - very large photograph circa 1880
The Colosseum in Rome - original photograph possibly by Rober Macpherson.
Photographs of the Colosseum from the late 19th century offer a fascinating glimpse into how this iconic ancient structure looked during that period. In 1880, the Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was already a significant historical landmark, and photographs from this era capture its grandeur and condition as it was perceived by people at the time.The photograph would have been taken using early photographic technology, such as the wet plate collodion process or albumen prints, which were popular in the late 19th century.
