Des Ritter Hamilton's Bericht vom gegenwärtigen Zustande des Vesuvs, und Beschreibung einer Reise in die Provinz Abruzzo und nach der Insel Ponza: Der Königl. Societät zu London vorgelesen den 4. May, 1786
A German-language account of Vesuvius and a journey to Abruzzo and Ponza, written by Sir William Hamilton, the British envoy, and published in Dresden in 1787 by the Walther court bookshop, drawing on a report read to the Royal Society in London in 1786. The single picture is a decorative rococo tailpiece of scrolling acanthus-like foliage with curling C-scrolls and shell-like forms, printed in dark ink on a pale, foxed page, offering a designer a template for ornamental dividers and vignettes.
