Description |
Bacchus Fountain at the corner of Borgo San Jacapo and Via de Guicciardin, which is located near the entrance to the Pont Vecchio on the south side of the Arno River in Florence. The fountain, built in 1838 is composed of a bronze statue of Bacchus above a Roman sarcophagus. It sits in niche in the corner of the Torre dei Rossi-Cherchi, a medieval tower belonging to the Rossi family, built in the 1200's. The tower and marble sarcophagus were both destroyed by German forces during WWII, though the statue was saved and is now housed in the National Museum of Bargello. The tower has since been re-built with a replica of the Bacchus Fountain. The Arrases traveled to Florence during their 1913 tour of Europe. Edmund F. Arras (7/7/1875-10/19/1951), a prominent Columbus businessman and entrepreneur, founded one of the city’s first property rental agencies in 1892. Trained as a lawyer, he graduated from OSU law school in 1896 and went on to hold positions in numerous civic groups around the city. He was particularly active within Kiwanis International and was involved with several local religious organizations. In 1913, he and his wife Elizabeth traveled to the World Sunday School Association Convention in Zurich, Switzerland. They continued on to travel extensively throughout Europe documenting their journey through photographs. Due to the timing of their trip, these photos comprise a valuable collection of images of European cities later devastated by war. The Arras family’s lantern slides and negatives include images from their 1913 travels through US east coast cities, Atlantic islands of the Azores, Madeira, Gibraltar and the countries of Algeria, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, and Ireland. Also included are images from their 1920 train journey from Chicago to the western US for the Kiwanis Convention in Portland. These photographs include images of Chicago, Denver and western National Parks. |
