1876 Wood Engraving Ponte Rotto Pre Demolition Pons Aemilius Lapideus Rome XGYA9

This is an original 1876 black and white in-text wood engraving of the Ponte Rotto in Rome, Italy. This mammoth bridge which crossed the Tiber fell into disuse in 1598 when half of the bridge was taken by a flood. More interestingly, this image was produced less than a decade before the remaining arches were demolished leaving only one that still stands today.
