Description

Rare separately published aquatint engraving of the comparative heights of the mountains (and volcanos) throughout the world, with a rare separate key identiying the names of the illustrated peaks.

This landscape presents a unique comparison of the world's major mountains, positioned as if they were neighbors. To the left-center, the active Mount Etna is prominently featured, while the snow-covered Himalayas loom in the distance, overshadowing all others. Additionally, cultural landmarks such as the Pyramids, a domed basilica, and a spired church are strategically placed to provide a sense of scale against these natural wonders.

The image is a based upon original artwork by Thomas Dulley.
