more 19th century literature on pompeii: 'pompeiana' by sir william gell

Another 19th century work that Mary Beard mentions in The Fires of Vesuvius: Pompeii Lost and Found is Pompeiana by Sir William Gell (1777 -1836) and John P. Gandy, Architect. (Gell portrait courtesy Wikimedia Commons)

It can be read online at the Internet Archive (with Kindle capacity): Pompeiana: the topography, edifices and ornaments of Pompeii, 3rd edition 1852, or as Google Book.

Amply illustrated, presumably by John Gandy.

"The name of the owner or occupier is constantly found upon the door post"

An optimistic assessment!  ;-)
