Calcografia di Roma, ovvero, Le piante, vendute, piazze, chiese, palazzi, bassirilievi, statue ed altri monumenti antichi e moderni di questra superba citta' : incisi in rame e divisi in vari volumi
This is a 1779 Roman engraved volume published in Rome by Giovanni Battista Cannetti, collecting copper-plate views of the city's piazzas, churches, palaces, reliefs and antiquities for a readership of collectors and travellers. The four plates show dense crowds of Roman soldiers in armour, shields and horses carved in relief, rendered in fine parallel hatching with Latin captions below, offering designers a model for crowded battle compositions, shield patterns and classical historical scenes.
