Abstract

This article presents a set of old postcards of the catacombs of Callixtus and an unpublished tourist booklet belonging to the same timeframe. It analyses them from the point of view of heritage tourism, history of archaeology, pilgrimage and promotion of Rome’s cultural heritage. It compares them to other postcards on themes of Christian archaeology and introduces these objects as a wider phenomenon for the first time. In particular, it reflects on their role in disseminating the Roman catacombs in tourist circuits in Europe, and in the early Christian revival that spread across the continent between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The article will provide a more detailed reading of postcards as an object contributing to the dissemination of Catholic imagery and cultural heritage at the dawn of international mass tourism.

19世纪至20世纪之间，明信片中地下墓穴绘画的再现及其作为博物馆工具的使用:以卡利克斯图斯地下墓穴为例

这篇文章介绍了一套Callixtus地下墓穴的旧明信片和属于同一时间框架的未出版的旅游小册子。本文从遗产旅游、考古历史、朝圣和罗马文化遗产推广的角度进行了分析。它将它们与其他基督教考古主题的明信片进行了比较，并首次将这些物品作为一个更广泛的现象介绍给大家。特别是，它反映了他们在欧洲旅游线路中传播罗马地下墓穴的作用，以及在19世纪和20世纪之间传播到欧洲大陆的早期基督教复兴。这篇文章将提供一个更详细的阅读明信片作为一个对象有助于传播天主教的图像和文化遗产在国际大众旅游的曙光。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Heritage Tourism ( JHT ) is a peer-reviewed, international transdisciplinary journal. JHT focuses on exploring the many facets of one of the most notable and widespread types of tourism. Heritage tourism is among the very oldest forms of travel. Activities such as visits to sites of historical importance, including built environments and urban areas, rural and agricultural landscapes, natural regions, locations where historic events occurred and places where interesting and significant living cultures dominate are all forms of heritage tourism. As such, this form of tourism dominates the industry in many parts of the world and involves millions of people. During the past 20 years, the study of tourism has become highly fragmented and specialised into various theme areas, or concentrations. Within this context, heritage tourism is one of the most commonly investigated forms of tourism, and hundreds of scholars and industry workers are involved in researching its dynamics and concepts. This academic attention has resulted in the publication of hundreds of refereed articles in various scholarly media, yet, until now there has been no journal devoted specifically to heritage tourism; Journal of Heritage Tourism was launched to fill this gap. JHT seeks to critically examine all aspects of heritage tourism. Some of the topics to be explored within the context of heritage tourism will include colonial heritage, commodification, interpretation, urban renewal, religious tourism, genealogy, patriotism, nostalgia, folklore, power, funding, contested heritage, historic sites, identity, industrial heritage, marketing, conservation, ethnicity, education and indigenous heritage.
