Dappled sunlight filters through a vine-covered pergola at Pompeii's House of Loreius Tiburtinus — one of the most remarkable garden houses unearthed in the "nuovi scavi" (new excavations) of the 1920s and 30s — its ancient columns casting long shadows across a gravel path that stretches deep into the excavated landscape, flanked by statuary still standing sentinel after nearly two millennia of volcanic burial. This real-photo-style black-and-white card documents the freshly excavated garden portico with a documentary crispness that reflects the era's archaeological excitement; the house of Loreius Tiburtinus, with its extraordinary Egyptianizing frescoes and elaborate garden water channels, was considered a sensation when exposed. Published by R&C (Richter & Co., Naples), catalog number 1004·18, the card's multilingual back — Italian, English, French, and German — signals its marketing to international tourists flooding Pompeii in the interwar years. Unused, the reverse is entirely blank save for publisher details.
