Vasi, Giuseppe, 1710-1782 · 1747 · In Roma : Nella stamperia del Chracas ... · 14 pictures

A guidebook to the monuments of Rome, published in Rome in 1747 by the engraver and antiquary Giuseppe Vasi for travellers and visitors to the city. The plates are etched views of city gates, walls and streets, each with a small caption, and show Roman architecture as ordinary buildings set among trees, roads and figures; a designer might take their clear linear views of gateways and their scattered pedestrians as a model for cityscape compositions.
