Etching,  1790’ circa, in lower margin an inscription on two lines, not clearly readable: “Joanni Baptistae Locatelli sculpori Egreggio Quas es Augustino Caraccia .... Primitias suas Verae Amicitiae in ...gum D D Lomazzi ???”

Beautiful example, printed on blue paper, trimmed at the marginal line, in excellent condition.
