Briefe über Rom is a German-language guidebook of 1782 by Christian Traugott Weinlig, published in Dresden for readers interested in Roman art, festivals and customs. Its plates are engravings after Piranesi, Panini and other Roman view-makers, showing St Peter's Basilica, the Trevi Fountain, a Vatican garden with statues and a horse-drawn coach in the piazza. A designer could draw on their crisp hatched shading and architectural perspective for classical city views.
