Il fiore dell'arte dell'intaglio nelle stampe con singolare studio raccolte dal signor Luigi Gaudio
An 1823 Italian anthology of engravings published in Padua by the Minerva press, compiled by Antonio Marsand and drawn from the collection of Luigi Gaudio, documenting European engravers. The four plates are stipple-and-line engraved portrait busts of artists, each with a signed inscription and engraver credit below, and a designer might borrow their dark tonal modelling, oval-free square frames, and period dress for historical portrait work.
