This photo shows a broken stone hand holding a tall column. The hand is cracked, missing fingers, and looks heavy. Below it sits a tall, carved stone block with writing that’s hard to read. To the right, a piece of draped cloth lies on the ground. The hand was once part of a giant statue. The photo was taken in the 1860s, showing how old ruins looked in real life. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
