About the Item
Title: Truncated Mountain, with the focus of an extinguished volcano in the island of Owyhee.
Engraved by Deeble, from a drawing by Craig for the gallery of nature and art
Source: The Gallery of Nature and Art; Or, A Tour Through Creation and Science, Volume 1. Plate 466. Year: 1815
The rare image 340depicts an engraving titled "Truncated Mountain, with the focus of an extinguished volcano in the island of Owyhee." It was engraved by Deeble, based on a drawing by Craig for the gallery of nature and art. The engraving is part of "The Gallery of Nature and Art; Or, A Tour Through Creation and Science," Volume 1, Plate 466, from the year 1815.
Engravings like this were common in the 18th and 19th centuries as a means of illustrating books and documenting discoveries in natural history and science. They provided a visual accompaniment to the written text, often in scientific works, travel narratives, or encyclopedic compilations. This particular image shows a landscape with geological features, which would have been of interest for both scientific study and the general public's fascination with the natural world. The island referred to as "Owyhee" is an archaic name for Hawaii, and this particular depiction may be of a site on the Big Island of Hawaii, which is known for its volcanic activity.
