When you next speak to ...<b>Thanks Jo and Laurentino.</b><br /><br />When you next speak to Laurentino Garcia y Garcia you can let him know that Jackie really loves his Danni di guerra a Pompei. Its her favourite Pompei book and she really agrees with and feels the "dolorosa" in the subtitle and the similar comments he makes in the text. It shows just what we would like to achieve with old photographs. Many of the old photographs shown were taken by Tatiana Warscher. <br /><br />Regios I.2, I.3 and VII.6 that we mentioned in our original post were badly bombed or earthquake damaged and a lot has been lost. If the other Warscher photographs are similar in style or content to those used by Laurentino Garcia y Garcia in his book then they might show features that are not there now and we think would make an interesting addition to the existing pictures on pompeiiinpictures.com.<br /><br />As Eric Poehler said in his recent interview (thanks for the kind words Eric) we record the whole house including including bare masonry walls. Any photographs that fill in the detail, show a wall before it was bare or even show now absent walls, are of interest to us and to those using our web site.<br /><br />Our coverage of Pompeii is wider than most, and anything and everything Pompeian is therefore of interest to us. We will eventually reschedule our deferred 2007 trip to the Getty, but in the meantime we would still love to hear from anyone about any older photographs or drawings of features no longer visible or of artefacts no longer in situ.<br /><br />Jackie and BobJackie and Bob at pompeiiinpictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350707719874971154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728728589367879262.post-72339365151687839952009-12-20T11:57:02.011+00:002009-12-20T11:57:02.011+00:00I've never seen the photos, but I've discu...I've never seen the photos, but I've discussed them with Laurentino Garcia y Garcia (who worked with Van der Poel). Van der Poel funded Warscher's work in Pompeii, but she was kept away from any of the 'new' Maiuri excavations and worked mainly in the areas that had been uncovered years before and were in bad condition. I understand that the photos document details, and are not overviews of the excavations (so the Getty are right about that). I think you need a trip to Los Angeles!Jo Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06696550825182079324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728728589367879262.post-51742938408620276892009-12-18T09:05:46.814+00:002009-12-18T09:05:46.814+00:00Thanks Lea.

These will, eventually, be made publicly available through our database. But, I will certainly check into the transferal of these onto a more public arena.
