• Resumen

  • When Piranesi moved to new quarters in Rome in 1761 he had space to store and sell his prints rather than entrust them to booksellers. This prompted him to publish an illustrated sales catalogue in the form of an etching and engraving, of which a number of copies inscribed to his friends and patrons survive. Revised twenty-nine times before Piranesi's death in 1778, the catalogue provides important evidence about his understanding as well as the dating of his prints, series of prints and illustrated books
