Ancient Syracuse;
Ancient Syracuse by E. Mauceri, published in Milan by E. Bonomi in 1914, is a photographic guide to the Greek and Roman ruins of Syracuse in Sicily, captioned in Italian, French, English and German for an international audience of travellers and scholars. Its plates are grey, rotated monochrome photographs of weathered stone: a tomb-lined street, a ruined amphitheatre arch, the Euryalus fortress ditch and a rock-cut tomb called the tomb of Archimedes, offering a designer textures of eroded limestone and carved masonry.
