inviting interaction, they were accompanied by samples of rocks and soil. seeking to describe rather than theorize, hamilton published a book of observations on vesuvius in 1772; this text was accompanied by five illustrative plates and a map. but hamilton had ambitions towards creating a more definitive guide to the volcano, to be as aesthetically beautiful as it was intellectually stimulating. hoping that \"such a publication, executed with magnificence in the royal printing office, may perhaps, render every other account of the late eruption superfluous\", he aimed to show that lava could emerge from points other than the summit, that cones could collapse, and that the sulphuric gases that emerged from cracks in the ground were linked to volcanic activity. \n \n \"hamilton employed the anglo-neapolitan artist pietro fabris (fl.1756-1784), 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 main text of the work reproduced his letters as they were communicated to the royal society, lending them a sense of authentication. \n \n \"the work was published in 1776 as \n campi phlegraei: observations on the volcanos of the two sicilies . a supplement was produced three years later describing the great eruption of vesuvius in august 1779. like the members of the royal society who had originally discussed hamilton's correspondence, its readers were invited to share in the experience of witnessing vesuvius erupting. this was primarily achieved by the outstanding illustrations that showed the eruptions from different vantage points and depicted various rock samples. the plates proved to be the book's defining feature, more popular than the text itself. landscape art was popular and many grand tourists commissioned paintings of their destinations as a way of commemorating their journey and proving themselves to be seasoned travellers...\" (ellen cole, university of glasgow online) \n \n \n paper size: ~ 13 1/2\" by 20 1/2\" \n \n \n paper type or special features: engraving with professional hand-coloring"},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"5215","title":{"en":"hamilton & fabris - eruption of vesuvius, monday 9th august 1779"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/trillium/source/catalog/auction/82331/lot/41192/view","tags":["usart_printsandmultiples","usart","usart_all"],"conditionReport":{"en":"The work is in excellent condition overall.
