[phlegraean fields, or observations on the volcanoes of the two sicilies] . it is from the second or de luxe edition of the work published between 1798 and 1802 in paris by chez lamy, libraire, quai des augustins. \n \n the work detailed erupting volcanoes as well as volcanic rocks and landscapes. it was also the first time the view was taken that volcanoes are forces of creation not just destruction as observed by hamilton. text page when available will be included and is in french with many having the accompanying english translation. the majority of the illustrations from the work were after pietro fabris. hamilton described the images as \"executed with such delicacy and perfection, as scarcely to be distinguished from the original drawings themselves\" (part i, p. 6, philosophical transcations 1767). \n \n campi phlegraei is known as the \"flaming fields\". it is the area around mount vesuvius and naples which had seen frequent violent eruptions. more people began visiting this area as the excavation of pompeii and herculaneum were performed at the funding of king ferdinand i. the king frequented hamilton's home due to this fascination and that it was filled with hamilton's noted collection of art and antiquities. this peaked interest in volcanoes led to many travelers visiting his home, and it was noted that hamilton himself climbed vesuvius 58 times despite all the dangers it presented. in some of the images of this work, hamilton is seen in his red coat, and the artist fabris is in the blue one, both getting perilously close to the volcanic action. \n \n sir william hamilton was the british ambassador to naples from 1764 to 1800, during the city's golden age. an avid antiquarian, hamilton assembled one of the world's finest collections of greek and roman antiquities. in addition to his duties as ambassador, hamilton was also renowned as a knowledgeable guide and congenial host to the visiting english 'grand tourists'. with infectious enthusiasm he would extol the wonders of naples and the beauties of arts of the ancient world, inspiring in many of his aristocratic visitors a genuine love of the antique. this new-found enthusiasm found its expression in the new style of neo-classicism and in the collections of antiquities which found their way to many of the stately homes of england. \n \n hamilton developed an interest in volcanoes while living in naples. he became a member of the royal society in 1766 and submitted to them many detailed and technical observations of volcanic activity in naples and sicily. some of these illustrations were used to create engravings for \n campi phlegraei... the work included not only views of the volcanoes erupting, but rocks and landscapes. in particular details of the area as it was in 1760s and 1770s as witnessed by hamilton. \n \n \"running two villas, a country house at the foot of vesuvius and his main home in naples, the money hamilton received as envoy was insufficient to maintain ambassadorial hospitality and to feed his vast collecting appetite. briefly returning to london in 1772, he was compelled to sell much of his art collection to the british museum with a grant given to preserve it in the nation's interest. on the same visit, hamilton was elected a fellow of the royal society. having already begun correspondence about the increasingly violent vesuvius, upon his return to naples his attention was drawn to challenging commonly held assumptions about volcanic activity by documenting what he saw in its eruptions. the excavations of herculaneum and pompeii, along with stories of the effects of vesuvius' eruptions within living memory of naples' inhabitants, reinforced the view that the volcano was a purely destructive force. however, hamilton sought to show that in a broader time scale, volcanoes had been responsible for the mountainous landscape and rich, fertile soils that characterized the area. he identified that heat formed basaltic rocks and that the stratified appearance of the land - both in exposed rock faces and in the excavated roman towns - was due to a build up of layers of ash, lava and debris from vesuvius. \n \n \"hamilton wrote to the successive presidents of the royal society, sir john pringle and sir joseph banks, about his discoveries. the letters were read out at meetings; 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\""},"estimateMax":2500,"lotNumber":"68026","title":{"en":"hamilton - view into the crater of astruni. 20"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/trillium/source/catalog/auction/53030/lot/26677/view","tags":["usart_printsandmultiples","usart","usart_all"],"conditionReport":{"en":"The work is in excellent condition overall.

[phlegraean fields, or observations on the volcanoes of the two sicilies] . it is from the second or de luxe edition of the work published between 1798 and 1802 in paris by chez lamy, libraire, quai des augustins. \n \n the work detailed erupting volcanoes as well as volcanic rocks and landscapes. it was also the first time the view was taken that volcanoes are forces of creation not just destruction as observed by hamilton. text page when available will be included and is in french with many having the accompanying english translation. the majority of the illustrations from the work were after pietro fabris. hamilton described the images as \"executed with such delicacy and perfection, as scarcely to be distinguished from the original drawings themselves\" (part i, p. 6, philosophical transcations 1767). \n \n campi phlegraei is known as the \"flaming fields\". it is the area around mount vesuvius and naples which had seen frequent violent eruptions. more people began visiting this area as the excavation of pompeii and herculaneum were performed at the funding of king ferdinand i. the king frequented hamilton's home due to this fascination and that it was filled with hamilton's noted collection of art and antiquities. this peaked interest in volcanoes led to many travelers visiting his home, and it was noted that hamilton himself climbed vesuvius 58 times despite all the dangers it presented. in some of the images of this work, hamilton is seen in his red coat, and the artist fabris is in the blue one, both getting perilously close to the volcanic action. \n \n sir william hamilton was the british ambassador to naples from 1764 to 1800, during the city's golden age. an avid antiquarian, hamilton assembled one of the world's finest collections of greek and roman antiquities. in addition to his duties as ambassador, hamilton was also renowned as a knowledgeable guide and congenial host to the visiting english 'grand tourists'. with infectious enthusiasm he would extol the wonders of naples and the beauties of arts of the ancient world, inspiring in many of his aristocratic visitors a genuine love of the antique. this new-found enthusiasm found its expression in the new style of neo-classicism and in the collections of antiquities which found their way to many of the stately homes of england. \n \n hamilton developed an interest in volcanoes while living in naples. he became a member of the royal society in 1766 and submitted to them many detailed and technical observations of volcanic activity in naples and sicily. some of these illustrations were used to create engravings for \n campi phlegraei... the work included not only views of the volcanoes erupting, but rocks and landscapes. in particular details of the area as it was in 1760s and 1770s as witnessed by hamilton. \n \n \"running two villas, a country house at the foot of vesuvius and his main home in naples, the money hamilton received as envoy was insufficient to maintain ambassadorial hospitality and to feed his vast collecting appetite. briefly returning to london in 1772, he was compelled to sell much of his art collection to the british museum with a grant given to preserve it in the nation's interest. on the same visit, hamilton was elected a fellow of the royal society. having already begun correspondence about the increasingly violent vesuvius, upon his return to naples his attention was drawn to challenging commonly held assumptions about volcanic activity by documenting what he saw in its eruptions. the excavations of herculaneum and pompeii, along with stories of the effects of vesuvius' eruptions within living memory of naples' inhabitants, reinforced the view that the volcano was a purely destructive force. however, hamilton sought to show that in a broader time scale, volcanoes had been responsible for the mountainous landscape and rich, fertile soils that characterized the area. he identified that heat formed basaltic rocks and that the stratified appearance of the land - both in exposed rock faces and in the excavated roman towns - was due to a build up of layers of ash, lava and debris from vesuvius. \n \n \"hamilton wrote to the successive presidents of the royal society, sir john pringle and sir joseph banks, about his discoveries. the letters were read out at meetings; 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\""},"estimateMax":2500,"lotNumber":"68027","title":{"en":"hamilton - view of the monte s. angelo on which there is a convent of camaldolesi monks. 11"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/trillium/source/catalog/auction/53030/lot/26678/view","tags":["usart_printsandmultiples","usart","usart_all"],"conditionReport":{"en":"The work is in excellent condition overall.

just as aristotle had passed his work on to his disciples, aldrovandi hoped that his own pupils would continue the unfinished business of writing the definitive history of nature. at the end of his life, his literary production -mostly based on the objects of his museum- totaled more than 400 volumes, a number that he claimed would take more than a century to print. \u2018and with all this i have kept three scribes in my house, excellent painters, designers, engravers, and have spent much on transportation [of artifacts] and on a library that can stand up to any other particular library in italy.\u2019 while it is hardly surprising that we should find aldrovandi's attempts to bring all knowledge under one roof overwhelming, given our own assumption that there is always more to know, the number and size of his many unfinished projects amazed even contemporaries\u2026 \n \n \u201cseparate from the thirteen printed volumes, which covered a range of topics -birds, insects, fish, quadrupeds, serpents, monsters, and hard objects, that is, stones, metals, gems, and fossils- the manuscripts included aldrovandi 's voluminous correspondence, drafts of treatises, tables that classified and tabulated the natural world, and his own encyclopedic compendia that organized all his reading notes alphabetically, topically, and geographically.\u201d (findlen, possessing nature) \n \n the scope and titles of the volumes are as follows: \n \n vols. i-iii. the ornithology: \n ornithologiae, hoc est, de avibus historiae libri... \n vol. iv. fishes & whales: \n de piscibus libri v et de cetibus lib. unus. \n vol. v. monsters: \n monstrorum historia cum paralipomenis historiae omnium animalium \n vol. vi. from dogs to chameleons: the \u201cclawed\u201d quadrupeds: \n de quadrupedib. digitatis viviparis libri tres, et de quadrupedibus digitatis oviparis libri duo. bartholomaeus ambrosinus\u2026 collegit \n vol. vii. cloven-hoofed quadrupeds: \n quadrupedum omnium bisulcorum historia \n vol. viii. solid-hoofed quadrupeds: \n de quadrupedibus solidipedibus volumen integrum, joannes cornelius uterverius, collegit et recensuit. hyeronimus tamburinus in lucem edidit \n vol. ix. marine invertebrates: \n de reliquis animalibus exanguibus libri quatuor, nempe de mollibus, crustaceis, testaceis, et zoophytis \n vol. x. snakes & dragons: \n serpentum, et draconum historiae libri duo \n vol. xi. the botanical collection: \n dendrologiae naturalis scilicet arborum historiae libri duo sylua glandaria, acinosumque pomarium vbi eruditiones omnium generum unà cum botanicis doctrinis ingenia quaecunque non parum iuvant, et oblectant ovidius montalbanus \n vol. xii. insects: \n de animalibus insectis libri septem \n vol. xiii. metals & minerals, including fossils: \n musaeum metallicum \n \n \n paper size: ~ 8 3/4\" by 13\""},"estimateMax":1500,"lotNumber":"68087","title":{"en":"aldrovandi - 7 pages of human deformities or monstrosities"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/trillium/source/catalog/auction/53030/lot/26738/view","tags":["usart_printsandmultiples","usart","usart_all"],"conditionReport":{"en":"The work is in very good to excellent condition overall.
