Bianchi, Giovanni Antonio, 1686-1758, Díez González, Santos, Valbuena, Manuel de, Mariani, Vicente · 1798 · Madrid : En la Imprenta Real, por d. Pedro Julian Pereyra, impresor de cámara de S.M. · 2 pictures

A Spanish translation printed in Madrid in 1798 by the Imprenta Real, a dialogue by the Italian Giovanni Antonio Bianchi on the faults of the modern theatre and how to correct them. The two plates show an engraved theatre plan with tiered seating in section and plan, and a classical allegorical scene above a column of small roundels. For a designer, the plates offer clean architectural layouts of semicircular auditoria and a dense neoclassical allegorical composition with decorative medallions.
