1637 · A Rome : Par Vital Mascardi · 58 pictures

A 1637 Roman guidebook printed in Rome by Vital Mascardi, written for pilgrims and foreign visitors, listing churches, saints' relics and the city's notable sites. The pictures shown here are not from it; they are mid-nineteenth-century French architectural plates of villa facades and floor plans, drawn in colour with clean elevations and plans a designer could study for house proportions and layout.
