Paperback. Zustand: New. Sir William Gell (1777-1836) was a British archaeologist known for his drawings of sites and objects of classical interest. Noting that from the beginning of the excavations at Pompeii in 1748 'to the present day, no [substantial] work has appeared in the English language upon the subject of its domestic antiquities', together with architect and fellow countryman John P. Gandy he first published Pompeiana to help detail important findings that had been made by the excavators in the first two decades of the nineteenth century. To this end they provide historical discussion, analysis, and over 75 plates illustrating various points of archaeological interest including, as their subtitle notes, 'the topography, edifices, and ornaments of Pompeii'. Pompeiana is an important work that helped open the excavations to English readers and created further awareness of the treasures of the doomed city, destroyed by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE.

The ruins at Pompeii were discovered in the 16th century, but excavations did not begin until 1748. During the French control of Naples in 1806-15 a new fervor sprung up in Europe on classical culture and archeology with a constant demand for books illustrated with accurate pictures of the site. Sir William Gell was a classical archaeologist is most known for his Pompeiana, which he made drawings on the spot using the camera lucida which allowed for highly accurate representations. His Pompeiana was the foundation for the popular myths of the Victorian age and beyond. It provided the basis for Edward Bulwer Lytton's immensely popular historical novel The Last Days of Pompeii 1834. Front hinge cracked.

First Edition of the first definitive work on Pompeii in English, by the British classical archeologist William Gell in collaboration with British architect J. P. Gandy. "Despite the importance of Pompeii, and the fact that excavations had been going on for half a century, no authoritative account of the site was presented to English readers until 1817 when Gell published Pompeiana . . . Gell prepared the illustrations for Pompeiana on site with the camera lucida, an instrument that enabled the draftsman to trace an image onto paper, thereby controlling scale and dimension. John Peter Gandy, who had accompanied Gell on the Ionian Expedition, wrote most of the text but with reliance on Gell's research. Pompeiana was beautifully printed and heavily illustrated with high-quality engravings and numerous vignettes, mostly from Gell's drawings. Gandy did his literary work well but Pompeiana's value lies primarily in its illustrations, which are organized topographically so that the reader seems to stroll down a Pompeian street, looking into various houses along the way . . . Besides being a scholarly landmark, Pompeiana provided a rich source for the decorative arts at a time when classical motifs were much in vogue" (J. Thompson, Queen Caroline and Sir William Gell: A Study in Royal Patronage and Classical Scholarship, pp. 58-59). . 850.

From 1811 to 1813 he accompanied Sir William Gell as his architectural draughtsman on an expedition to Greece on behalf of the Society of Dilettanti. The write-up of the trip was published in 1817 as "The Unedited Antiquities of Attica", and in 1840 as the third volume of "Antiquities of Ionia", edited by William Wilkins.
