Rome et ses environs : avec une description générale très-exacte de tous ses monuments anciens, & un abrégé de ses beautés les plus remarquables, en moderne, comme les meilleures peintures, sculptures & architectures
A 1794 guidebook to Rome and its surroundings, written by Andrea Manazzale and published in Florence by Cajetan Cambiagi for French-reading travellers and collectors of art and architecture. Its engraved views, printed sideways on the page, show St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican piazza, the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella and the Pyramid of Cestius, drawn in clean, evenly hatched line that suggests a model for architectural vignettes and classical ruin scenes.
