Gaertner made the trip to Sicily in 1816 and presented the drawings to the Münchner Akademie a year later. The plates show views of Greek monuments in Sicily in splendid impressions, using a yellow ochre tint. 'The views in this work illustrate the antiquities in Agrigentum, Taormina etc., together with plans and diagrams' (Blackmer). Blackmer 653; Ornamentstichkat. Bln. 1913.



Oblong elephant folio (578 x 790mm). 2 lithographic titles in French and German, 10 tinted lithographic plates, 6 plans, and 4 leaves of letterpress text in French and German (French title faintly spotted in right-hand margin, a couple of other scattered spots to a few plates, plans more heavily spotted, first two plates with very minor old marginal repairs on verso faint vertical fold crease to whole).
