Ingenious overlay illustrations set this series apart. In this volume, Pompeii is shown first as it looks today and next, via overlaid acetate illustrations, as it looked before the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. We love this method of relating past and present. It's so intuitive! The text is good, too. Published in Italy, the series is distributed in the U.S. by the Getty.
