In my element... Admiring the collection of the Secret Cabinet—created to hide away the rude objects that were flooding out of excavations in in the 18th century. Bourbons were shocked by both the subject matter & that it pervaded all strata of Roman society.

Stumbled across this, presumably rare, photograph of the painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema on site in sketching in the House of Sallust.
His most famous painting of Pompeii is ‘An Exedra’ (1869) set at the schola (bench) tomb of the priestess Mammia near the Herculaneum Gate.

Plenty of superb owls in but perhaps my favourite is the graffito in the House of the Cyptoporticus that looks like an owl-headed person hunting an oversized chicken.
