Filippo Morghen (ca. 1730-1808)


In the late Eighteenth Century, the printmaker
Filippo Morghen (ca. 1730-1808), a Florentine based in
Naples, issued a curious set of ten etchings under the title
'A Collection of the most notable things seen by Sir Wilde
Scull, and by M. de la Hire, in their famous voyage from
the Earth to the Moon'
