This is a 1764 Italian engraved design, by Paolo Posi and Tommaso Catrani after Giuseppe Vasi, of a temporary festival machine representing a Capitol, made for the feast of Saints Peter and Paul in Rome and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its plate shows a tiered, multi-storey architectural facade with a central tower, columns, statues and a crowd gathered at the base, drawn in fine grey ink on cream paper, useful to a designer studying festival scenography and baroque stage architecture.
