Description
Questa magnifica incisione proviene da 'Beschryving van Oud en Nieuw Rome. Verdeelt in drie Deelen. In 't Fransch beschreven door den Heer Francois Desseine. En in ‘t Nederduitsch vertaalt’ (Descrizione dell’Antica e della Nuova Roma...), una pubblicazione significativa nel campo dell’arte e della storia. Quest'opera fu inizialmente scritta da Francois Desseine e fu pubblicata per la prima volta in francese nel 1690. Successivamente fu tradotta in olandese e pubblicata da François Halma nel 1704. Le incisioni magistrali sono altamente dettagliate e artistiche, e servono a trasmettere la ricchezza visiva di Roma durante il XVIII secolo. Attraverso queste incisioni, ai lettori viene concessa un'esplorazione meticolosa delle complessità architettoniche, delle statue, delle strutture monumentali, dei manufatti storicamente significativi e delle colture dell'antica Roma.
Acquaforte, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

François Halma [Franz Halm, Franciscus Halma (1653 - 1722)] was a Dutch publisher active in Utrecht (starting 1674) and later in Amsterdam where he worked as printer and publisher from 1699-1710. He eventually settled at Leeuwarden, where he died. His output was composed of botanical, theological and historical works, but also, he published a small number of geographies and atlases. In 1695, he published an edition of Gerard Mercator's Ptolemy. His re-issue of Schotanus à Sterringa’s Friesche Atlas in 1698 was regarded among his finest work. He also published an edition of Sanson’s Description de l’Univers. He produced an edition of Falda's plan of Rome in or around 1700. He also caused to be engraved a set of large-format maps of the continents and the world (this latter after Cassini) which are quite rare and appear to have been separately issued. We are aware of institutional copies of the continents having been bound into a 1710 Visscher atlas. The execution of these large and rare maps, drawn by Jan Goeree and engraved by Jan Baptiste, was of a very high quality. The plates were later acquired and reprinted, virtually unchanged, by Pieter van der Aa in 1713.
