Item description from seller

contemporary full gilt calf, rebacked expertly, spine with 5 raised bands, title in gilt on two, spine with decorative gilt ruling and central devices, upper board with decorative large gilt central motif with a crown on top, Royal coat of arm., Text is in Italian. A very important and scarce early work detailing various monuments and antiquities in Rome during the late 16th century. This first edition was published during the Jubilee year of 1575 and immediately became one of the most important works on the subject and was published in many editions over the next two centuries making first editions, like the one presented here, scarce and sought after. Etienne Duperac (Stefano Duperac or Du Perac, c. 1535 - 1604) was a French architect, designer, painter, engraver, and cartographer. A versatile artist of the second half of the sixteenth century, he was a scholar of antiquity and an etcher and designer of gardens. The etchings of Du Pérac represent as no other work does the lively renewal and interest in the monuments of classical antiquity which reached its climax in sixteenth century Rome., Size : Oblong Folio, , Complete with 40 etched and engraved plates, including the etched title page. , References : Thomas Ashby, ?Le diverse edizioni dei ?Vestigi dell?Antichita? di Stefano Du Perac,? La bibliofilia 16 (1915): 401-421; Berlin Cat, 1847; Besterman, Old Art Books, 34; Fowler III Superb and handsome example, plates are clean and crisp.
