Description

Small map of Rome included in the Nuovissima guida dei viaggiatori in Italia, printed in Milan by Epimaco and Pasquale Artaria.

At the bottom right, Plan de la Ville de Rome. At the left, 34 numbers of legend. The date and publisher are given only in the work. Since only the semicircle facing the Pincio in Piazza del Popolo was built, it depicts Rome around 1820. Arrigoni and Bertarelli, at no. 203, cite a probable first edition of Artaria's guide, published in Milan in 1829.

Etching, excellent condition.
