Description:
Various natural phenomena including (fig. 1) an eruption of the volcano, Cotopaxi, (fig. 2) a whole triple rainbow or fogbow in Pambamarca, in present-day Ecuador, (fig. 3) a series of reflections from the moon projected on the tops of a mountain, perhaps lunar fogbows or dewbows. Also includes tent and observation tripod.

notes:
These mysterious phenomena, described in great detail by Ulloa, have been analyzed by optical specialists. Ulloa is credited with the first observation of a white rainbow or fogbow (also known as a "circle of Ulloa" in his honor). Fig. 3, a more mysterious observation (seen by Ulloa on the plain of Turubambaat in April 1738 and by George Juan on the mountain of Quinoa-Loma in May 1739), presented as a series of colorless arcs intersecting at one point and seen by the light of the moon. This phenomenon may be an inner lunar fog-bow accompanied by a primary reflected lunar fog-bow.Cotopaxi eruption of 1743 was observed by Ulloa.
