'Published by James Wyld Geographer to His Majesty 5 Charing Cross. London. February 1.st 1828.' London: James Wyld Jr., February 1st 1828; copperplate engraving, map: 444 x 449 border: 451 x 702 widest: 500 x 702 platemark: 516 x 730mm, in original wash colour. Light tape stain in upper border, a few short tears outside the platemark, but overall a lovely example. Very unusual map entirely devoted to Mount Etna, compiled in 1824 by the Italian geologist Guiseppe Gemmellaro, a native of Catania, a coastal town in the shadow of the volcano. Two extensive panels of text, in parallel English and Italian, detail the eruptions from 1226 to 1824, when the map was drawn. Gemmellaro even includes notes for the tourist - the "informed traveller" - on particular attractions to be seen, as well as a commentary on the height of the volcano. The paths of the lava flow are marked on the map when known, with the lava from three eruptions actually reaching Catania, on the coast. Also depicted from actual observation, are the three 'levels' of the volcano, which are described in the text. COPAC records two examples only, in the British Library and at Cambridge. £1,250 63 EUROPE
