A large-format colour photographic view of the Arch of Septimius Severus at the edge of the Roman Forum in Rome, its great inscribed attic and triple arches framed by Composite columns and carved battle reliefs. The brick Curia building stands at left, the Column of Phocas and the ruins of the Forum stretch away at right toward the green slopes of the Palatine Hill, and a few pedestrians in dark coats walk along the curving road in the foreground.
The back carries the caption 'Roma, Arco di Settimio Severo', the card number 285, 'da fotocolor Kodak Ektachrome' along the divider, a round Fotorapidacolor Terni logo and the notice 'Riproduzione vietata'. It is unused, with dotted address lines and a dotted stamp box.
Condition: Good condition with light corner wear, a tiny brown speck on the road at left of the front, and scattered foxing spots across the back; no creases, tears or holes visible.
