Georg Christian Adler ausführliche Beschreibung der Stadt Rom : mit Kupfern
A detailed 1781 German guide to the city of Rome by Georg Christian Adler, printed in Altona and aimed at readers wanting an architectural description of the city. The pictures are engraved plates of plans, elevations and monuments, including maps of the ancient Forum and Capitol area, a Roman column, and tower and tomb diagrams. A designer could take from them the precise linework of 18th-century antiquarian site plans and the clear labelled-key layout used to explain ancient buildings.
