The Fireboat (The Resolute), Mortimer Borne, drypoint, color
Highly detailed, carefully delineated panoramic view of Mount Etna viewed from the ruins of the ancient Greek theatre of Taormina, with the crumbling walls of the theatre visible on the far right.
This image is created with black ink on ecru paper. The etching was created with a heavily inked plate, and portions of the image are very dark. It represents a street corner with pedestrian groups and vehicles scattered throughout the foreground and middle ground. To the right of the street are Four buildings. Closest to the right edge is a low building with three windows with three vehicles in front. Next to that building is a large building with two towers and a domed roof in the center. Behind that building are two additional three story buildings. The sky is swirled with lines, and two indistinct buildings also rise in the distant background at the end of the street.
