GIOVANNI B. PIRANESI
Veduta in Prospettiva della gran Fontana dell'Acqua Vergine detta di Trevi.

Etching, 1773. 475x715 mm; 18 3/4x28 1/4 inches, small margins. First state (of 3), before numbers. Crowned coat-of-arms with a lion watermark (Hind 4). From the Vedute di Roma. A superb, dark and richly-inked impression of this large, important etching with very strong contrasts and with traces of the guide lines for the text in the lower margin distinct, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Hind 104.
