When I was collecting photographs of the 19th century of different cities, which in the middle of the century underwent, somehow, at once, strange destruction, I did not even think about ROME!
My searches began with the Crimean War, from the destroyed Sevastopol: then, after the heroes of the Crimean War, namely Napoleon 3, I moved to America, and there were also strange fires, earthquakes that destroyed many cities to rubble: A strange picture began to take shape - from the end of 18 and Until the middle of the 19th century, some kind of pestilence attacked the cities! There is one simple explanation - the war that led to such devastation. But after Napoleon the first and the third, I went in search of Egypt - a large number of excellent quality photographs turned out to be available on the network, which show that Egypt in the middle of the 19th century had just begun to be dug up, that is, these were the first visits to Egypt after the catastrophe that destroyed Egypt ! Why am I talking about a catastrophe, maybe it was Napoleonic soldiers who shot churches and turned them into ruins? Yes, maybe, but where did they get so much sand that they would diligently fill it all up.
Questions about whether Napoleon 1 was a real figure or is it a reflection in the past of the real Napoleon 3, which is in the photographs, rest, among other things, on Egyptian albums with many drawings that differ in many ways from photographic images! And then I came across a photograph, which was, as it were, a prototype for the well-known lithography of ROME! After all, there is a huge number of Piranesi's drawings, which depict the ruins of the ancient world. Many consider them a fiction of the artist, but Piranesi is not alone, there are many artists who depicted Rome in the ruins …
So, ROME in photographs from the second half of the 19th century!
This photo has a lot of interesting nuances - ruins in the foreground, a pile of rubble on the right, very unusual for the late 60s of the 19th century, this is the main attraction and it turns out that the rubble has not yet been disassembled!
Here are a few paintings and drawings that date from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, they are quite famous.
And here is the photo
And this is a graphic from a photograph.
Quite a residential antique building, heavy masonry, everything is as it should be - but people live and glass in the windows. But it is worth driving people out and putting up a sign - Caligula lived here a million years ago and that's it….
But people are doing repairs, everything is fine, normal work - broke down - repaired!
Here's a clean up gardener and a clean Piranesi!
Pompeii - everything was cleanly removed, this is already a photo of the beginning of the 20th century, the Colosseum can be shown to tourists, everything is ready!
Pompeii, according to official historiography, really, seriously began to dig up in 1762, and before that supposedly millennium, everything that fell asleep, lay untouched! Is that where the logic is? Nearby lived neighbors who did not suffer much, someone had relatives, everyone knew everything where what was useful and dear…. I think that as soon as the ash cooled down, people took shovels and went to dig !!! Well, if you throw the Napoleonic shift from Napoleon-1 to Napoleon-3, then you get the very beginning of the 19th century! Who is Piranesi and when he lived a big question, he was too much paper worn out, and Whatman came up with his own paper only at the beginning of the 19th century.

Many, studying the history of Russia or Russia, argue, defending their interests about what they previously heard from someone or read from some sources that life was good or bad before, or, say, that before the revolution the peasants lived very well, but the landowners were fattening and from that the people rebelled … And so on and so forth

Iron processing in the 19th century, despite its apparent simplicity, remains one of the vast number of currently unsolved mysteries. The most common way of constructing anything from steel in the 19th century was with rivets. They were used so often that it seems that bolted connections were much more complicated, and welded ones were not even invented - there was no need for them
