Diverse figure al nvmero di ottanta
An Italian engraved suite of eighty figures, published in Rome in 1646 and attributed to Annibale Carracci with plates by Simon Guillain, aimed at artists and print collectors studying street trades and working types. The pictures show single standing men in period dress, each carrying the tools, containers or loads of his trade, drawn in fine hatched line on plain grounds with a few distant buildings; a designer could take from them the economy of hatching and the clear silhouettes of figures defined by their props.
