About the Item
Campi Phlegraei - View of a section of a part of the cone of Astruni taken at the entrance of this volcano
Copper-line engraving with gouache. 1776.
Engraving from William Hamilton's 'Campi Phlegraei'.
The area around Naples was known locally as the Campi Phlegraei, or 'flaming fields', owing to the frequent and violent eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. From his country house at the foot of the volcano, William Hamilton (1730-1803) was ideally placed to witness and investigate the eruptions of the 1770s. Hamilton wanted to create a definitive guide to the volcano, to be as aesthetically beautiful as it was intellectually stimulating. He employed the Anglo-Neapolitan artist Peter Fabris to create sketches in situ to illustrate the work. These were then reproduced in prints that were hand coloured individually by local artists by the application of gouache. The process was overseen at every stage by Hamilton. The work was published in 1776 as 'Campi Phlegraei: observations on the volcanos of the two Sicilies'.

Coupang : Ile Timor. Vue d'un chantier de construction. Early C19th engraving
Located in Melbourne, Victoria
'Coupang : Ile Timor. Vue d'un chantier de construction'
Depicts Timorese people and Europeans building a rowboat under a tree, with other boats in the distance. The work is being overseen by a senior naval man, possibly intended to be Captain Freycinet.
Steel-engraving by Friedrich Schroeder (1768-1839) after F Garnier after Alphonse Pellion. Alphonse Pellion, artist and naval draughtsman, was a midshipman aboard l'Uranie on Louis de Freycinet's three-year scientific and ethnographic expedition around the world in 1817-1820.
From Louis Freycinet's 'Voyage Autour du Monde, Entrepris par Ordre du Roi ... Execue sur les Corvettes de S. M. l'Uranie et la Physicienne Pendant les Annees 1817, 1818, 1819 et 1820', published in Paris in 1825.
Louis Claude de Saulces de Freycinet (1779-1842) joined the French Navy in 1793 and was a veteran of the Baudin's voyage of discovery (1801-1803). He also completed the narrative of the expedition which appeared under the title of 'Voyage de Decouvertes aux Terres Australes'. In 1817 de Freycinet successfully lobbied the Government and King Louis XVIII agreed to support a new global campaign. Its mission was to finally determine the shape of the earth and return with detailed reports on geography, people, government, commerce and art of this new world. The 350-ton corvette Uranie had a complement of 120 men and 23 officers including the artist Jacques Arago and a priest. Over the next three years Uranie visited Australia, East Timor...
