Good complete copy of an unusual illustrated souvenir of Pompeii
Unlike other records of Pompeii which focused on the wall paintings and mosaics as they were excavated, this book features "then and now" illustrations.
Full-colour reconstructions of Roman life in the villas, shops, baths, streets, theaters, temples and circuses peopled with first-century figures, as well as tinted views of the ruins as they were in 1898.
With 21 fine chromolithographs of ordinary life in ancient Pompeii (I-XXI) and 11 tinted lithographs of the ruins (A-L).
Lithographed by D. Capri, Friedrich, et al after illustrations by G. Discanno, G. Autoriello, G. Cel, Oscar Dressler, A. Magliano, de Simone, S. de Stefani, V. Mollame and A. Carelli.
Antonio was grandson of the architect and scenic designer Antonio Niccolini Sr. (1772-1850). Antonio Jr. also published the final two volumes of Fausto and Felice Niccolini's monumental book on the interior design of Pompeii, Le case ed i monumenti di Pompei, (Houses and monuments of Pompeii), Naples, 1854-1897, after the brothers' death in 1886.
Bookplate of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, "presented by Nita Butler."
Cloth boards with crude buckram spine, gitl title on front board, stained and bumped at edges. Ex library copy of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh with stamps and markings to title page and index, but plates unstamped. Some chipping to edges of pages, tears to tissue guards, with various degrees of foxing.

Description:
This beautiful engraving depicts the Pyramid of Cestius (Caio Cestio) near the non-Catholic cemetery and the Porta San Paolo in Rome on the Via Ostiense.Engraved and published by Giovanni-Battista Piranesi, a famous Italian engraver and architect. He was born in Morano di Mestre on 4 October 1720 and died in Rome on 9 November 1778. Piranesi was known by the nickname "Rembrandt of architecture". The artist not only reproduced the ancient vestiges of the power of Rome but was also one of the most authoritative archaeologists of his time. Despite a great reputation and magnificent fame, Piranesi never got rich because of the very low prices of his works. He was a member of the Order of Christ and the London Antiques Society. Extremely rare collector's example from Piranesi's first and most important work "Antichita Romane"
