Giovanni Battista Falda's 1685 engraved survey of Roman fountains, published in Rome and held by Heidelberg University Library, is a collection of plates for patrons and visitors interested in the city's public and palatial waterworks. The plates show fountains in piazzas, villa gardens and hillside settings, drawn in fine line engraving with careful architectural perspective and small figures for scale, offering a designer examples of classical garden layout, sculptural basins and crisp black-and-white hatching.
