EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "View of Solfaterra, 1776" offers a captivating glimpse into the natural wonders and historical significance of this Italian landscape. The print is part of Sir William Hamilton's renowned work, "Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies" published in 1776. The image showcases various elements that make Solfaterra truly remarkable. In the foreground stands the Temple of Serapis near Puzzoli, an ancient Roman archaeological site that adds a touch of grandeur to the scene. Beyond it lies the vast plain of Solfaterra itself, with its steaming vapour holes scattered across its surface like mystical portals to another world. Intriguingly, we also catch a glimpse into daily life at this location during the 18th century. A worker's house where alum is prepared can be seen nearby, highlighting human activity amidst nature's spectacle. This juxtaposition between man-made structures and untamed beauty creates a unique atmosphere within this print. The artist skillfully captures not only these fascinating features but also incorporates vibrant colours that bring life to every detail. From sulphuric yellows to earthy browns and lush greens, each hue enhances our appreciation for both the geological marvels and cultural heritage found at Solfaterra. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an era
