Shows usual earthquake damage, collapse of masonry structures and ground failures. May be meant to depict city of Catania which sustained the most damage. View is from south to north, i.e. eastern Sicily to the Strait of Messina in upper right corner. While Mt. Etna is shown erupting, there was actually only minor summit activity at the time of the earthquake. (Copper engraving, Germany, 1696).

Shows Mt. Etna erupting and lava flowing through the town of Catania, Sicily. Although the image is clearly labelled "9, 10, und 11 Januar ... 1693," there was no lava flow associated with that earthquake. The publisher may have re-used an image of the 1669 eruption. (Copper engraving, Germany, 1693)
