Description de Rome
Description de Rome is a 1821 guidebook to the city's monuments, written by Carlo Fèa and published in Rome by Angiolo Bonelli and Giovanni Scudellari, with plates printed by Carlo Mordacchini for readers of Italian and French. The engravings are rotated architectural views of Roman buildings with captions naming each monument, showing street facades, columns and arches in plain line work that a designer could use for classical reference and layout of historic façades.
