coliseum

Do we know what street that is? Just wondering if any of those stone structures are still standing.

Walter Allen Rosenfield, Sr (Jun. 13, 1877, Rock Island, Illinois - Jul., 1959, Rock Island, Illinois) (www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=119597825).

He was one of the managers of Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman's Presidential boom (NYT, May 15, 1916 query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FA0B10F93D5F13...).

Senator Sherman:

Joseph B. Kealing was an Indiana statesman at the Republican national convention in Chicago (NYT, June 3, 1916 query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FB0E12F63D5F13...). Another photo of him is in memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/h?ammem/cdn:@field%28NUMBER+....

B-59: Thanks for the fuller info. on Rosenfield and Kealing. We will include it next time we update the description.

A nice stereoscopoic photograph. Both images the same but one is slightly out of phase with the other so when viewed through a stereoscope they give the illusion of depth (3-D). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy

I've come back to this wonderful picture, that is truely evocative of ancient Rome. It's seems so idyllic and unspoilt by modern developments. More so, this was taken in an age before the motor-car! It saddens me to look at this picture and think the Colosseum later became a giant roundabout threatened by all that motor traffic to crumble into rubble. Thankfully, some years ago the area immediately around the structure has been pedestrianised and the constant traffic diverted away. Stuart.

The photo shows the ruins of the Meta Sudans (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Sudans) which was demolished by Mussolini in 1936.
