19th Century Grand Tour Photo Of The Roman Colosseum

About the Item

Fantastic large scale 19th century Grand Tour image of the Roman Colosseum in the original oak frame, with the original glass! At over 5.5 feet wide this is an impressive piece. Quite rare to find one this large still intact. The image was so large it had to be created from three equal sections which meld beautifully into one oversized picture of this timeless landmark, symbol of ancient Rome. It brings the viewer right there, in all it's faded glory. I'd keep it if I had a place to hang it. 68 inches wide by 48.5 wide by 1 deep.
