Eruption of Mount Vesuvius at Night, Coloured Aquatint
A coloured aquatint shows a night eruption of Mount Vesuvius, with a fiery column of lava and dark smoke rising above a glowing volcano over the bay. Small figures stand on a stone quay in the foreground, watching, while boats float on the water and lightning streaks the sky. The French caption title appears in the lower margin.
