Plan of Naples, 1860. Creator: John Dower
Plan of Naples, 1860. Naples is built at the base and on the slopes of a range of hills which have the general form of an amphitheatre. This range is divided into two natural crescents by a transverse ridge bearing in its different portions the names of Capodimonte, St. Elmo, and Pizzofalcone, and terminating on the south in the small promontory on which stands the Castel dell'Ovo. The crescent which lies to the east of this ridge includes the largest and most ancient portion of the city, extending from the flanks of Capodimonte and St. Elmo to the Sebeto, and including within its circuit the principal edifices and public establishments'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plan of Naples, 1860" by John Dower, offers a glimpse into the urban layout of Naples, Italy during the 19th century. Naples, a city nestled at the base and on the slopes of a range of hills, is depicted in its amphitheater-like setting. The hills are divided into two natural crescents by a transverse ridge, which bears the names of Capodimonte, St. Elmo, and Pizzofalcone. The eastern crescent, the oldest and most ancient portion of the city, is shown extending from the flanks of Capodimonte and St. Elmo to the Sebeto. Within this circuit lie the principal edifices and public establishments of Naples. The city's strategic location, built between the hills and the Bay of Naples, is highlighted in this engraving. The Gulf of Naples, with its harbor and trade routes, is visible in the foreground. The Castel dell'Ovo, a small promontory on which stands the ancient castle, can be seen at the southern tip of the city. This print, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1860, provides a fascinating insight into the geography and layout of Naples during the Victorian era. The fortifications and buildings are depicted in intricate detail, offering a window into the past and showcasing the rich history and culture of this beautiful Italian city.
