Description
Piccola pianta archeologica di Roma "Orientata col nord a sinistra. A proiezione obliqua; orografica; nell'angolo inferiore a destra 28 numeri di rubrica. Deriva dalla pianta archeologica del Panvinio del 1565, mutato però l'orientamento" (cfr. Scaccia Scarafoni p. 30).
Pianta tratta dal " Antiquae Urbis Splendor" di Giacomo Lauro, opera per la prima volta pubblicata nel 1612, importante e ricercata raccolta di vedute e antichità romane, rappresenta il più importante lavoro del Lauro e godette di una incredibile fortuna.
L'opera interamente illustrata con sintetici testi didascalici sulle bellezze e gli splendori di Roma antica e Roma moderna venne ristampata ed accresciuta. Le edizioni posteriori fanno sempre riferimento alla data di pubblicazione del 1612. La data e lo stampatore sono però dedotti dalla dedica di Giovanni Alto (jan Alten) da Lucerna, curatore del volume, ai lettori.
Acquaforte e bulino, stampata su carta vergata coeva, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

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.
