| Description | Painted plaster geographical and topographical relief map of Mount Vesuvius, 'Plan geologique et topographique du Mont Vesuve ca 1:50,000, 1838' copied from the map by Armand Dufrénoy, published in "Mémoire sur les terrains volcaniques des environs de Naples", ‘Annales des Mines’, 3rd series, vol 11 (1837), pp369-434, plate IX. |
| Administrative History | The origins of the map are unknown, but it does appear (along with a model of Mount Etna) on the list of specimens retained by the Society in 1911, when the rest of the Museum collections were given away. The Etna model, which may have been the one presented by Elie de Beaumont in 1842 (see PGS donation list) is not extant in our collections. |
