Le fontane di Roma nelle piazze e lvoghi pvblici della città : con li loro prospetti, come sono al presente
A 1691 Roman book of engraved views of fountains in the squares and public places of Rome, drawn by Giovanni Battista Falda and published in Rome by Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi. The plates show each fountain with its surrounding palace, garden wall or piazza, presented as a formal elevation. A designer could take from them the clean, architectural layering of basins, tiered jets, figure sculpture and framing walls, all rendered in fine black line with no shading beyond hatching.
