Roma aeterna, Petri Schenkii : sive, Ipsius aedificiorum romanorum, integrorum collapsorumque, conspectus duplex
A 1690 Latin engraved book of Rome by Peter Schenk, published in Amsterdam, showing the city's standing and ruined buildings for an antiquarian audience. The plates are etched architectural views, some with street-level crowds and figures, and a designer could draw on their precise line work, ruined masonry textures and crisp cityscape perspective.
