Copper engraving, hand-colored, 325 x 420 mm. The optical views published by the Remondini family are a true example of Italian popular printing: simple in their lines, quickly and boldly colored with just a few shades, they are captivating for their immediacy and have been the subject of numerous exhibitions, collections, and studies in recent years. The views were intended for inclusion in the New World, where commoners could see them illuminated and thus learn about the cities of the world. A good copy, with a loss in the upper left corner and foxing.
