Antique & Vintage Postcards

Black-and-white photographic postcard of the garden (Giardino) of the Casa dell'Atrio a mosaico (House of the Mosaic Atrium) at Ercolano (Herculaneum), Italy. The view looks across a rectangular garden courtyard with a central fountain basin, box-hedged planting beds, and ornamental column stumps, framed by the excavated walls of the Roman house with its series of doorways. Modern protective roof structures are visible above the walls at the rear. Olive and other Mediterranean plants grow in the garden.
