A 1647 Roman publication printed in Rome by Gio. Batta. de Rossi, gathering engraved views of the city's principal fountains, likely for collectors, architects and travellers. The engravings show fountains as small architectural set pieces: tiered basins, carved masks, sculpted figures and niches framed by columns and pediments, set against plain or tree-lined grounds, offering a designer ideas for garden and civic water features and ornamental stonework.
