Located on the bottom left with pen and China ink POMPEI – Voie des Tombeaux, signed on the bottom right with pen and China ink A. Normand

Normand went to Pompeii in the summer of 1849 to prepare his third year Envoi, for which he proposed a Restauration de la Maison du Faune in 1850. This sheet shows the famous path located north-west of the city, beyond the surrounding walls, which was one of the first cleared areas of Pompeii and one of the most frequently depicted.
