Culminating point of the peak of Teneriffe, 12,198 feet high, showing the interior of the terminal crater of the mountain. Photographer: Smyth, Charles Piazzi
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Scientific Photography
Frontispiece. Stereographic view, showing figures posed among the rocks of the peak: 'Yet wait my friends, said I, one moment more; allow me only another photograph; for these sulphurous exhalations of the ground, have spoilt nearly all my plates today. So Don Martin Rodriguez placed himself again on the highest point of the crater-wall, absolutely the culminating point of the Peak of Teneriffe, his man stood close by, and the yacht carpenter going past at the moment with a bucket of sulphurous specimens, was included in the picture; where the dark rocks in the foreground, show the brown exterior, − and the white cliffs under the Don, the acid and steam-bleached interior, − of the terminal crater of Teneriffe' (p. 316).
