GIOVANNI D. TIEPOLO Via Crucis.
Complete set of 15 etchings and etched dedication page, 1749. Each approximately 209x185 mm; 8¼x7¼ inches, full margins. Each in the first state (of 3), before the address of Viero and the plate numbers. Some sheets with three crescent watermark or letter A countermark. Very good, richly-inked impressions with strong contrasts and no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of these etchings; extremely scarce as a complete set in this early issue.
Provenance: Cabinet Brentano-Birckenstock, Vienna and Frankfurt, with the ink stamp on the verso of each sheet (Lugt 345).
