Lot Essay

We would like to thank Andrea Henderson Fahnestock for her assistance with cataloguing this lot. This view of Mount Vesuvius is probably from a point in the northern end of the Bay of Naples near Posillippo, Italy, and appears to be a later, smaller version of Haseltine's The Bay of Naples (circa 1858)in the collection of the Figge Art Museum, Davenport, Iowa.
