Image 315 x 378, Sheet 342 x 419 mm A scarce comparative landscape featuring the world’s principal mountains as close neighbours. A smoking Etna stands prominent to the left-centre while the snowcapped Himalayas dwarf all in the far distance. Pyramids can be seen on the shore to the right, with a domed basilica and spired church further back. All provide a sense of scale to the natural giants that surround them.

Condition: ‘Key Founded on Geometrical Admeasurements’ and publication line trimmed below.

Old glue residue spots on verso.
