This model in the Naples Archaeological Museum, made of wood, cork and paper, by Felice Padiglione, is scaled at 1/100, and shows the excavations up until the end of 1879.
Many models of the city were produced, including one on display in an exhibition in VIII.2.14/16 in 2018.
That model featured the houses on the western side of VIII.2, that is VIII.2.1/3 the Houses of Championnet, VIII.2.14/16, VIII.2.17/21 the Sarno Baths, and the next few properties on the southern slope.
According to the Archaeological Park of Pompeii display notice in VIII.2.14/16 -
“The cork model was begun in 1865 by Giovanni Padiglione, one of several models predating the great model of the entire city now in Naples Archaeological Museum.
It was created over the course of several stages, following the advance of archaeological discoveries, as demonstrated by the Courtyard of the Moray Eels, excavated at the end of the nineteenth century, and the lower floors of the houses which were investigated in the 1930’s.
In addition, the wall and floor decorations, painted on paper, do not correspond with those that were originally present; most probably it was decided to substitute them with those of a more profound impact from other houses, for educational purposes.”
