Breve raguaglio degl'incendi di Mongibello avvenuti in quest'anno 1669 ...
A brief 1669 Italian account of the Mount Etna eruptions, written by Tomaso Tedeschi Paternò and printed in Rome by Edigio Longo for readers interested in the volcano's fires. The pictures are small engraved views: a heraldic coat of arms with lions, a hilltop town spread across slopes, a Zurich library stamp, and a rocky lava flow with a boat and a castle on a ridge. A designer might take the loose, hatched line work of the landscape views and the stacked engraved armorial ornament as period texture for maps or dramatic volcanic scenes.
