"The Aphroessa and Georgios Lava Flows during an Eruption of the Santorini Volcano" is a historical illustration from the scientific work "Études sur les Volcans" (Studies on Volcanoes), which was published in 1881. The illustration was created by the artist Julius Schmidt, also known as Jules Schmidt, and was engraved by Druck and Arnold. Schmidt, a German astronomer and geophysicist, was known for his contributions to the study of lunar and terrestrial geology. His detailed depiction of the lava flows captures the dynamic and destructive nature of volcanic eruptions on the island of Santorini, Greece.

The illustration serves as a visual representation of the volcanic activity associated with the Santorini caldera, a feature formed by a series of major explosive eruptions that have shaped the island's history and landscape. The artwork not only reflects the scientific understanding of volcanology in the late 19th century but also provides a glimpse into the methods used to communicate scientific observations to the public during that era.

The engraving by Druck and Arnold highlights the meticulous craftsmanship required to reproduce Schmidt's work for mass publication. The attention to detail in the illustration aids in conveying the complexity of volcanic processes, such as the formation of lava flows named after Aphroessa and Georgios, which are likely personifications or local names associated with the volcanic features of Santorini.

As an important historical document, the illustration is a valuable resource for both the scientific community and those interested in the history of geology and volcanic studies. It exemplifies the interdisciplinary nature of volcanic research, combining artistry with scientific observation to enhance our understanding of natural phenomena.
