My Last Look at Sicily, taken by our special artist, Frank Vizetelly, from the coast of Calabria, between Reggio and St. Giovanni, 1860. 'The view herefrom is exceedingly fine. On the opposite coast is the crescent-shaped city of Messina; with Mount Etna on its right, and a little above it, on its left, the low promontory of Faro, with its tower advancing into the sea, as though to meet the Italian coast; whilst dimly seen in the distance is the little fiery rock Stromboli, forming a splendid landscape, one of the finest even in the Mediterranean, a sea whose shores are remarkable for a variety of beautiful scenery'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
