Notes

A attractive set of engraved views of Rome, most by Achille Parboni (1783-1841), although a handful (all in the same style) are signed P. Parboni or F. Rinaldi. Versions of this collection were issued in a variety of ways with a differing number of images, but this is an early example, with a total of 70 plates, none dated later than 1824.
