Map of Vesuvius lava streams
John Auldjo lived in Naples at a sensitive period concerning volcanic eruptions. Indeed, the Mount Vesuvius experienced no less than 5 eruptions between 1820 and 1840. He personnally witnessed the effusive eruption of 1831 and went to scale it. The result is a new written work filled with handmade lithographs.
