Note:	Filippo Morghen was an accomplished eighteenth century engraver of portraits, architectural views, antiquities, plans and maps. He studied art in Rome for a period of seven years before settling in Naples were he not only created etchings and engravings but established himself as a print seller and as a publisher. Filippo Morghen was a leading engraver for the recent archaeological discoveries detailed in the Antiquities of Herculaneum, published in Naples in 1757, and the sole engraver and publisher of Views of Ruins in the Environs of Naples, published in 1766. This fine map belongs to the latter set and it details not only the craters and lakes in the Naples area, but a large number of ancient structures. This engraving is typical of Filippo Morghen's great work.
	Filippo Morghen's fine engravings earned him the title of 'Engraver to the King of the Two Sicilies'. He was also the father and teacher of Rafaello Morghen (1758-1833), one of the most influential engravers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
