I vestigi dell'antichità di Roma raccolti et ritratti in perspettiva
A 1621 Roman publication printed in Rome by G. de Scaichi, made by the engraver Etienne Du Pérac and drawn from the Wellcome Library's collection. Its plates are topographical views of ancient Roman ruins set among the city's streets and buildings. The engraving shows a wide paved piazza lined with a colonnade of fluted columns on the right, with small figures walking and a horseman crossing, and ruined walls and houses behind; a designer might take its clean line hatching and strong one-point perspective for architectural scenes.
