Well, now that Lockwood got #13 on the first try, I will have to reach back into my vault to attempt to find a stumper ...

Vesuvio?
Ha ha ha ... wow folks, you're running this feature out of business.
Congrats Damon, it is indeed Vesuvius.

Anak Krakatau?!
Blast! I need to check the site more often. :-)
I think this is a photograph of Vesuvius sometime during the late 19th or early 20th century (prior to the 1906 eruption in any case) ...
Tavurvur crater at Rabaul?
Don't open a casino Erik!
I think that going for old photos is not going to work, as there are only a limited number of better known volcanoes that would have been photographed, e.g Vesuvius, Paricutin, Etna etc.
Perhaps it's Mexico's Partucin (sp?) -- the cinder cone that rose in the corn(?) field?
Anyone notice the 2nd post?
Off-topic. Galeras in Columbia is active. There's a SO2 signal, despite comments to the contrary, over at The Volcanism blog at wordpress.

The system doesn't appear to be sealed. Hopefully, the new bulletin to be released today includes a mention of SO2 leakage, for accuracy sake.
Surtsi.
Going by the quality of the photograph - which I would say is from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century - my guess would be Mount Etna.
A word to Boris Behncke: always enjoyed your Italy Volcanoes site and I miss it. I still remember that video clip taken by some British chap of the 2001 paroxysmal eruption of the SE Crater on Etna: amazing!
You are a very clever person!
