EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page and frontispiece from Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies, a renowned publication by Sir William Hamilton in 1776. The hand-coloured engraving, created by Pietro Fabris, takes us on a visual journey through the mesmerizing landscapes of Sicily's volcanic region. The image features six distinct islands that have been shaped by powerful volcanic explosions over time. From left to right, we can identify an island raised by such an eruption, followed by Castel-a-mare Island, Panarea Island, Saline Island, Felicura Island, and finally Lipari Island – the largest and most populous among them. Sir William Hamilton was not only an esteemed diplomat but also a passionate geologist who dedicated his life to studying volcanoes. His observations and insights are beautifully captured in this stunning artwork. As we gaze upon this picturesque scene filled with sailing ships gracefully navigating the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea, we are reminded of both the beauty and power of nature. The coastal landscape is dotted with boats as they transport people across these enchanting islands. This exquisite engraving serves as a testament to Hamilton's pioneering work in understanding volcanic activity while offering viewers a glimpse into Sicily's geological wonders. It stands as a timeless reminder that even amidst destruction and chaos lies breathtaking natural beauty waiting to be explored.
