Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A richly illustrated architectural and archaeological study reconstructing one of Pompeii's most famous residences, this large-format volume combines detailed plans, elevations, and color renderings with period engravings and site photography. Text is presented bilingually in English and Italian, reflecting both scholarly rigor and accessibility, while drawing on excavation evidence, comparative analysis with Herculaneum, and museum research to recreate the house as it appeared prior to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Published independently by Nicholas Wood and printed and bound in Hong Kong (design by Philip Mann), this is the true first edition, with no indication of later printings or revisions. As typical for specialized architectural art books of this type, no dust jacket was issued. The work stands out for its combination of technical architectural reconstruction and visual storytelling, making it useful to both scholars and enthusiasts of classical antiquity.
