Description
Vertical projection map, orographic, oriented with the north at the top.
It is a reduced and updated derivation of Giovan Battista Nolli's map of 1748, published for the first time in 1838 - without the decorative apparatus at the bottom, deriving entirely from Nolli, which appears only in this reprint of 1841, amended on the old plate. Orography and representation of the green areas are added.
At the bottom, under the map, a view of the Colosseum and the Trajan's column with the three columns of the Foror Romano in the foreground and the Capitol on the right have been added. The districts (rioni) are marked in the map by Roman numbers. At the bottom right we find the signatures of the various engravers. On the two sides legends divided by topics.
Etching, printed on contemporary paper, cut and applied on canvas and mounted in a case, light foxing, for the rest in good condition.

French architect and engraver. He was a student of Charles Percier and Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine at the École des beaux-arts. In 1819 he was appointed architect inspector of the reconstruction of the théâtre de l'Odéon. In 1820 he traveled to Italy, and he works to his Édifices de Rome moderne: ou recueil des palais, maisons, églises, couvents, et autres monuments publics et particuliers les plus remarquables de la ville de Rome, which appeared between 1840 and 1855, illustrated with engravings of the buildings in Rome made by himself.
On his return from Italy, he became successor architect inspector of the Hôtel du ministère des finances, of the monuments of the Champs-Élysées and, in 1834, chief architect of the Collège de France.
