Description

Work first published in the very rare Giardino del Mondo dove si vede sculpite le citta principale ditalia con le eccelse fabriche antiche e chiese palazzi guglie colonne giardini e fonatene et archi trionfali di Roma, printed in Rome [s.d. but circa 1625-30].

The works, of small format, are a derivation of those by Francesco Valegio, contained in Descrizione La Raccolta di le più illustri et famose citta di tutto il mondo, dating from the end of the 16th century.

Marcucci's branches came together in the more famous de Rossi printing house, and were reprinted in the Raccolta delle principali città d'Italia intagliate con tutte le contrade, e palazzi di esse, published in Rome in 1643 by Giovambattista de Rossi. A later reprint of the same is known to have been published by Carlo Losi in 1773.

 

Copperplate, in perfect condition. Very rare.
