8 engraved sheets forming 4 (of 5) panoramic views of Naples harbour by Antonio Cardon after Gabriele Ricciardelli, (550 x 725mm). (Short tears, several repaired, some light soiling at edges and spotting, old fold at centre.) Unbound.
The first view is dedicated to John Stuart, Viscount Mountstuart, the second to Luigi de Walmoden, the third to Conte di Cobenzl, and the fourth to Sir William Hamilton. Stuart, son of the 3rd Earl of Bute, visited Naples between March and April 1765; Hamilton resided there as diplomat for 36 years, from 1764 to 1800. These rare views were later included in Morghen's collection of views of Naples issued c. 1780. Pane and Valerio, La citta di Napoli (1987). (8)
