Series V.B. Early documentation of Pompeii by Edward Falkener, 1846-1851, undated<br />

Physical Description: 2.1 linear feet<br />

Scope and Content Note<br />

Edward Falkener (1814-1896) was an English architect with an interest in antiquity. In the<br />

course of a Grand Tour, Falkener spent an extended period in Pompeii in the years<br />

1846-1847 studying and sketching the ruins. He even supervised excavations in the<br />

house of Marcus Lucretius (IX 3, 5). In 1974, <strong>Vander</strong> <strong>Poel</strong> located Falkener's papers in the<br />

possession of his heirs in Guernsey and in 1976 arranged to have photographic copies<br />

made of his drawings.<br />

This subseries consists of reproductions of those materials, as well as other sources.<br />

Falkener's drawings and sketches dating to 1846 include plans of houses, mosaics,<br />

architectural elements, objects and reconstructions. <strong>Vander</strong> <strong>Poel</strong> also planned to publish<br />

Falkener's "Dulcis Pompeia," an unpublished manuscript dating to 1851. The date of<br />

<strong>Vander</strong> <strong>Poel</strong>'s work on the manuscript is unknown.<br />
