Tommaso Jenkins pittore, ed accademico di S. Luca, in atto di respetto e d'amicizia dall'architetto e suo coaccademico: Gio. Battista Piranesi).</i>\n\r\nThis volume, number 21 of 27 volumes with Giovanni Battista and Francesco Piranesi works published in Paris by the Calcographie des Piranesi frères (1800-1807), uniformly bound by Tessier, Paris (label in each volume), contains 32 plates after drawings by Guercino and others. For the complete set of prints in this volume see accession numbers: E. 4973-5004-1908. The copperplates are in the Istituto Centrale per la Grafica, Rome.\n \r\nPiranesi produced ad signed only the frontispiece (E.4973-1908) and three works (E.4988-1908, E. 4994-1908, E.4995-1908), of which two are after drawings by Guercino and one after Pier Leone Ghezzi, while the other plates are etched by Francesco Bartolozzi and other artists. \n\r\nThe original edition, with 16 plates, was printed with mixed sepia and black ink to give the impression of a facsimile of the drawing. During the course of several reprints, Piranesi added new sheets, including those by other artists, to reach a total of 28 (catalogue of 1792). Francesco added further plates with works by other artists for the first Paris edition.  \r\n","physicalDescription":"Plate from a series of prints after Guercino and other artists by various printmakers.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Piranesi, Giovanni Battista","id":"A8740"},"association":{"text":"print-makers","id":"AAT25164"},"note":"etching"},{"name":{"text":"Piranesi, Francesco","id":"A30837"},"association":{"text":"publishers","id":"AAT25574"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Tessier","id":"A27227"},"association":{"text":"bookbinders","id":"AAT25704"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"etching (printing process)","id":"AAT53241"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Etching, ink on paper","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[{"text":"Italian","id":"AAT111198"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":[],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"SB23","shelf":"SH3","box":"LL/21"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Rome","id":"x29106"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Paris","id":"x29068"},"association":{"text":"produced","id":"AAT54713"},"note":"volume bound"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1764","earliest":"1764-01-01","latest":"1764-12-31"},"association":{"text":"first published","id":"x46563"},"note":""},{"date":{"text":"1800-1807","earliest":"1800-01-01","latest":"1807-12-31"},"association":{"text":"produced","id":"AAT54713"},"note":"volume bound"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"570","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"14/03/2017","earliest":"2017-03-14","latest":"2017-03-14"},"part":"volume","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"425","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"14/03/2017","earliest":"2017-03-14","latest":"2017-03-14"},"part":"volume","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"The collection of volumes was previously owned by architect Decimus Burton (1800-1881) and his bookplate is pasted in the inside cover of this volume.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Print from a set of 32 plates, 'Raccolta di alcuni disegni del Barberi da Cento detto Il Guercino', vol.
