Based on engravings by Desprez and Chastelet illustrating 'Voyage Pittoresque ou déscription des Royaumes de Naples et de Sicilie' by St Non, published in Paris between 1781-85. This monumental work consisted of five volumes with 542 engraving and was much used as a source for the Vienna factory. Two other plates from the service in the Museen der Mobiliendepots in Vienna are illustrated by E. Sturm-Bednarczyk / C. Jobst, Viennese Porcelain of the Neo-classical Period (2000), nos. 128 and 129 (dated 1803-1807); similar plates were made with views of Switzerland and Vienna. Another example is illustrated by A. Fay-Halle and B. Mundt, 19th Century European Porcelain (1983), p. 61, fig. 79.
