ANTONIO DA CANAL, IL CANALETTO
S. Giustina in Prà della Vale e Prà della Valle.

Two etchings, circa 1740. Both approximately 298x428 mm; 11 3/4x17 inches, both with narrow margins. Both in the second state (of 2), with the numbers lower right. Letter R watermark (Bromberg 49-54). Both very good impressions.

According to Bromberg, "No record exists of their ever having been printed as one undivided plate. The partial outline of a man's coat printed beyond the right borderline of S. Giustina in Prà della Vale, repeated on the left of Prà della Valle, seems to confirm the belief that the 2 etchings were intended to be joined after printing." DeVesme 8 and 9; Bromberg 7 and 8.
