Published in 1776 by Sir William Hamilton, this exquisite piece of cartography offers a glimpse into the volcanic wonders of the Two Sicilies. As our eyes wander across the intricate details, we are transported to an era when exploration and scientific curiosity reigned supreme. The map showcases Mount Vesuvius majestically dominating the horizon, its fiery presence captured with remarkable precision. The Gulf of Naples stretches out before us like a shimmering tapestry, inviting us to explore its hidden treasures. From Capri to Salerno, every contour is meticulously mapped out, revealing not only geographical features but also invaluable insights into navigation during that period.

Shades ranging from vibrant greens to earthy browns create a visual symphony that transports us back to an age where maps were both practical tools for sailors and works of art for enthusiasts. This particular print hails from The Stapleton Collection—a testament to its rarity and significance as it finds itself nestled within private hands today.
