1860 Engraving Renaissance Palaces Floor Plans Rome - Original Copper Engraving OverviewsThis is an original 1860 engraving of several Renaissance building floor plans including: Palazzo Gentili; Palazzo d'Aste; and Palazzo Strozzi, by architect Paul Letarouilly. Of the over 300 different original engravings we have obtained by architect Letarouilly, only a few contain his personal blind emboss markings, still intact. It is likely that very few of these exist in the world (and more likely that none are available for purchase). This engraving DOES have the rare blind emboss, from 1856, with his name, and it is not visible in the digital picture. In addition, only those with the blind emboss were created on this slightly more desirable, hand-modeled stock. Simply stunning.
Period Paper is pleased to offer an exceptional collection of original first impression engravings of the architectural masterpieces of Renaissance Rome. This collection, which dates from 1860, is the result of thirty-five years of meticulous work by French architect Paul Letarouilly. This is a rare collection, and all of the engravings are in very good condition considering their age. Each engraving has the original plate impression although it is not visible on our digital image.
