Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Second. Tomo primo. Rome: Stamperia Salomoni, 1784. Second edition. Folio (21 1/2" x 15 13/16", 546mm x 401mm). [Full collation available.] With 46 (of 43) engraved plates: 35 single (including the portrait frontispiece of G.B. Piranesi), 8 double-page and 3 folding. The final 3 plates (of which 2 are dated 1787) are by Francesco Piranesi, and are found only in certain copies. Bound in contemporary half calf over blue speckled-paper boards. On the spine, six raised bands. In the panels, gilt fleurons with gilt undulated rolls top-and-bottom. Title gilt to the second panel, number gilt to the third. All edges of the text-block speckled to match the boards. Head- and tail-pieces rebuilt. Edges and spine rubbed generally. Fore-corners bumped, with some little splits. A wonderfully fresh and unsophisticated copy, with neatly-folded plates and no tanning or foxing (except for one little patch to the title-page, evidently from a crushed insect) as so seldom. On the verso of the first free end-paper, an ink manuscript institutional ownership in German. Giovanni Battista (Giambattista) Piranesi (1720-1778) was Venetian by birth, but is forever linked with the Eternal City because of his various series of views; Goethe was famously disappointed upon his arrival in Rome, so firmly did he have Piranesi's plates in mind. Piranesi was to be sure a distinguished craftsman and engraver, but his work towers above all others' because he was himself a scholar of Classics, and an archaeologist and architect as well. His knowledge of Roman history and material culture allowed him to distinguish the various strata of development and of the excavations that were going on all around him. The first edition of his Antichità romane appeared in 1756 in four volumes (the present copy is only the first volume). After his death in 1778, his son Francesco (as well as his daughter Laura) reissued his works, sometimes with additions (as here; the portrait frontispiece and final three plates are engraved by Francesco) and sometimes with slight alterations to the old plates. The format, which has so much appealed to Grand Tourists, was kept the same. There were generous margins around the smallish plates, which, mostly being two to a page, allowed for comparisons to be drawn between, say, a view and a ground plan (icnografia or ichnography). The ownership inscription on the verso of the first free end-paper ("Zur Closter-_____ Bibliothek gehörig") indicates that the book was held by a library that has (or had) an association with a monastery in a German-speaking place.
