Briefe über Rom is a 1782 German travel guide to Rome by Christian Traugott Weinlig, published in Dresden for readers interested in its art, festivals and customs, and based on prints by Piranesi, Panini and other masters. Its plates are etched views of Roman monuments and streets, with a few figures in the foreground, showing ruined arches, temple façades and crowded piazzas that a designer could use as references for classical architecture and eighteenth-century city scenes.
