Small copperplate engraved mezzotint of a man fishing in a peaceful environment. Engraved by Cepparuli from a drawing by Niccolo Vanni for the most important archaeological work of the 18th century - the recording of the discoveries at Pompeii, Ercolano (Herculaneum) and Stabiae (Campania), the region that had been covered since the eruption of Mt Vesusius late in AD79.

This engraving has fine later colour, and the heavily inked printing shows through from the reverse of the hand-made paper - adding to its character. To plate impression measures 145 x 170mm (7 x 5 5/8 inches).
