Description
Map of Frascati - after Mattheus Greuter - taken from Giacomo Lauro's most famous work "Antiquae urbis splendor .." published for the first time in 1612/15 in 3 parts, and then increased in 1628 by a fourth part.
The last part, edited by Jan Alten, contains views of the villas in and around Rome. The work was later reprinted, given the great success, by Rudolf Alten.
A very rare, unknown, late issue with the dedication to Pietro Firlei erased.
Copper engraving, in excellent condition.

Engraver, printer and print publisher. Active in Rome from 1583. 17 March 1598 he applied for and was granted a ten-year papal privilege for an unspecified number of unnamed religious prints.
Lauro’s earliest dated prints are of 1585, and carry the address of C. Duchetti. He also worked for Panzera in 1589. From 1590 he tried to establish himself as a publisher of his own work. He acquired and restored old plates, published copies of such classic prints as Marcantonio’ St.Paul preaching . He accepted commissions, as the map of Rocca Contrada, 1594.
He probably acquired plates from Jacob Matham which he published in 1598. His Antiquae Urbis Splendor was published in parts from 1612. In the volumes issued in 1614 and 1615 Lauro refers to having worked on it for 28 years which would mean that he began it about 1586. Important connections with Poland; he specialized in images of saints.
