    This is an excellent view of the foothills of the now dormant Solfatara volcano crater on the outskirts of Pozzuoli, a current suburb of Naples, Italy. This small volcano is the reported home of Vulcan, the mythological God of Fire and Volcanoes. Sulfuric lava and accompanying smoke is seen in the background to pour from the 'sulfur mountain'. Workmen attending smelteries (to produce white sulfur) and a coach is also in the background, while local natives and an artist plus historian are in the foreground. Two elaborate cartouches decorate the sides, with the one on the right containing an index indentifying the lava flows and the small lake of dark, thickened water. The allegorical figures with a donkey's head and a Medusa's head who are striking an anvil with smiths' hammers, and the cartouche texts framed by horseshoes, are clear references to the forge of the god Vulcan. From Civitates Orbis Terrarum, which was the first atlas of world cities and one of the most important books published in the 16th century. Italian text on verso.
