Part of the Ellis group of daguerreotypes.
Part of a panoramic view of Rome, looking out from the Capitol Tower. In the foreground to the left is a long roof with balustrade. To the centre right is a residential building of 5 storeys in height. A church with dome is on the left, middle distance, another is on the skyline to the centre, another to the right and further to the right are more towers and spires. In the central area, obscured by damage to the daguerreotype, is a range of different houses, churches, towers, formal and informal buildings. On the horizon, a hill rises from left to right.
