Franklin Booth -When Falls the Colosseum, The Red Book magazine interior, June 1924 - Ink on paper

What a wonderment! The translucensy of the lions is most impressive!

This makes you feel that you were there in spirit!  In 1924, when travel was very costly, illustrations like this was how most people were able to see these wonders and historical landmarks of human civilization.  

Love the idea and the craft exhibited in this sweet piece!

Always a treat to find a Franklin Booth shared here on CAF. A lovely illustration from a master. 

Congratulations of this fine addition to your collection.
