Description
A very rare, unknown by literature, map showing the French attack to reconquer Amiens
The Siege of Amiens between 11 March and 25 September 1597, was a battle fought during the Franco-Spanish War (1595-1598) as part of the French Wars of Religion and the Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604). The Spanish captured the city, but the city ultimately fell back into French hands.
On the right, the publisher's address: Ioannis Orlandii formis.
Copper engraving, in very good condition.
Giovanni ORLANDI (Attivo 1590 -1640)
|
Engraver, printer and print publisher from Bologna. Active in Rome from 1590 until 1613and then in Naples. His shop in Rome was at the Pasquino. He also seems to have been a dealer in drawings. In 1608 he was employing a printer,G.B. Ranieri.
He bought existing plates from Johannes Statius, Cherubino Alberti and Nicolas van Aelst.
Orlandi acquired plates of Vignola’s Regola delli Cinque Ordini d’Architettura which he published in 1602. Orlandi does not seem to have built up a stock of plates, but having taken from them what he could, sold them on. Van Aelst bought plates from Orlandi, as for example the Twelve Profets and Ten Sibyls of Schiaminossi.
In 1609 Orlandi is reported as regretting having sold four small etched plates by Annibale Carracci, after having taken 400 impressions from them. He published work by Tempesta.
