One of Rome's most beloved vistas — the sweeping Spanish Steps rising 135 steps to the twin-towered Trinità dei Monti church — is captured here in a crisp early-1900s photographic halftone, the broad travertine staircase alive with flower vendors and promenading Romans in period dress, a scene virtually unchanged in silhouette for over a century. Published as card no. 15 in what appears to be an early undivided- or early divided-back Rome series, this black-and-white gem retains remarkable tonal detail in the flowers massed at the base of the steps. A traveler — likely an English-speaking visitor — has written annotations directly on the image face: along the right edge, "above where Rosa did" and along the bottom, "about 250 steps to the top. Struck lunch from church at door. Master X." These intimate marginalia transform a standard souvenir into a personal travel diary fragment, anchoring Rosa's unnamed adventure in Rome to a specific lunchtime stroll.
