The photographs in the ensuing pages will take the
reader to a different world - to the beauty of Naples, a
hundred years in the past. These are actually ‘inked’
photographs taken by travellers to Naples in the early
1900’s. These type of photographs (created using a
technique called
) were widely used
in those days and the inked photographs were given
or sold as souvenirs.
The photographs show the bustling life and the
growth of the city during that era. Modern day
travellers to Naples are, of course, witness a very
different kind of city. The grandeur of the past is still
visible through the veils of contemporary
development and changes to the environment, as is
always the case with most ancient cities.
