Degli edificj antichi e moderni di Roma; vedute in contorno
A line-engraved survey of ancient and modern Roman buildings published in Rome in 1817 by Giovanni Battista Cipriani, a record held by the Getty Research Institute. The views are outline engravings of street scenes and monuments, with a few figures placed for scale. The pictures show a designer how fine contour lines alone can describe masonry, arches and columns without shading.
