Elizabeth CAMPBELL (NINETEENTH CENTURY)
Sicily, 'Island of Stromboli. 27 Apr 1825'. Watercolour. Inscribed and dated, 1825. Provenance: An album of watercolours by Elizabeth Campbell. 4.5x10.25 inches.⁠⁠
⁠⁠

Lava was flowing we imagined from the curling smoke descending and on the higher parts smoke issued from many mouths. On this side the island seemed only lava ___ . It is of conical form but the immediate cone is gone apparently burnt in and of less beautiful form than Vesuvius. A curious isolated rock stands to the left of the island. In fine weather the vessel passes between this rock and Stromboli. As we sailed on a ___ something like vineyards were visible.” #sicily #taormina #stromboli #messina #syracuse #agrigento #sciacca #palermo #segesta #ancienttemple #sicilianbeauty #sicilianlandscape #etna #watercolour #sicilianholiday #siciliancoast
