Description
View taken from Quinti Horatii Flacci Satyrarum libri I Satyra V, a volume published in Rome by De Romanis in 1816.
Two editions were published in the same year: the first in 150 copies, the second in 200, edited by Duchess Elisabeth Devonshire, a very generous patron of artists, with images 'faithfully portrayed in their present state', depicting the main places on the Appian way between Rome and Brindisi. 90 copies of the first edition had been destroyed by the Duchess to increase its rarity.
Copperplate, in perfect condition.
