Description
The title cartouche in lower center with title floowed by a description and with a key lettered A to H in the centre: with 'Al. Spechi del. et incid.' on a pilaster in the foreground; and 'data in luce da Domenico de Rossi Erede di Gio. Giac. de Rossi dalla sua stamperia in Roma alla Pace con Privil. del S. Pont. e lic. de Sup. l'Anno 1693 il di 15 Ottobre".
Engraved and drawn by Alessandro Specchi (1668-1729), an engraver and architect from Rome, who refers to himself at the lower right-hand side of the picture. He was a pupil of Carlo Fontana, the architect of the façade of S. Marcello. Specchi, who was also a member of the Accademia San Luca, began his career as an engraver in 1684 and assisted Carlo Fontana in his work from 1690 onwards.
He was a well-known architect in his lifetime. His works include many buildings in Rome. But he also wrote a work on the architecture "Studio d'architecttura civile", which contains 153 prints.
Domenico de' Rossi (1659–1730) was an Italian sculptor and engraver. In 1709 Domenico inherited the printshop of Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi, by the church of Santa Maria della Pace, the largest and most long-lived publisher of the Roman baroque. Several generations of the de' Rossi participated in the family publishing firm established in the 17th century, which continued to produce engravings for the use of designers.
Giovanni Giacomo De Rossi (1627 - 1691)
Italian printer and publisher active in 17th-century Rome. Giovanni inherited the important Rome-based printing business, which his father, Giuseppe de Rossi (1570-1639), founded in 1633. Hard work and dedication from 1633 to 1691 ultimately pushed the firm to new heights. By the mid-17th century, the Rossi firm was considered Rome's most active and important press.FAQ - Guarantee - Shipping

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value:
Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability.
Nowadays it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors, and these are therefore more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
- Original colors: the colors were applied around the time the map was issued.
- Original o/l colors: only the borders were colored at the time of publication.
- Colored: the colors were applied recently or at the end of the 20th century ("attractive colors" may also be used).
