PL.1. Pompeii.
Photo by Esther Boise Van Deman (c) American Academy in Rome.
VD_Archive_Ph_241.
Description given as Pompeii, Oven, and photo from between
1900-1930.
It does not seem to correspond to any of the ovens in bakeries,
the walls look too big to be from a house.
Perhaps the photo is from a Villa, now reburied.
Ostia has been suggested to us, but we wrote to them
and they answered that it was not from there.
Can anyone identify this intriguing photograph, as we are at a
loss.
PL.2. Pompeii?
1972. Photo by Stanley A. Jashemski. From where?

(According to the Jashemski’s this was from the House of Vettii,
(VI.15.1), but only with the description of a “dado flower – daisy”.
May be from the black dado of the alae on north and south of
atrium, or perhaps from the black zoccolo of the peristyle,
but cannot prove it with any of our photos.)
