PIRANESI, Giovanni Battista (1707-1778) and Francesco (1756-1810). A Collection of Works. Rome and Paris: [1753]-1837.
28 works in 22 volumes, 2° and large 2° (520 x 400mm. and 600 x 475mm.). Contemporary uniform English gold-tooled red morocco, covers with roll-tool borders of stylised foliage, spines decorated with large urn and star tools, green morocco lettering-pieces, gilt inside dentelles, g.e., by J. Wright with his stamp.
THE COMPLETE CANON OF PIRANESI'S WORK IN A TRULY MAGNIFICENT COPY. Bound in mid-19th-century full morocco, it is the finest copy to appear at auction in decades. The set comprises over 1200 etched and engraved plates, in fine strong impressions on thick laid paper. (Some plates have tissue guards added, occasionally the margins or guards are very lightly browned or spotted.) The set was assembled and bound for Beriah Botfield in the 1840s. Botfield's aim was undoubtedly to assemble one of the most complete collections of the work of the Piranesis, both father and son. In this he was remarkably successful, collecting fine examples of the Roman editions, mainly 1760s and 1770s issues, adding Francesco's works issued in Rome in the late 1780s and 1790s, as well as his new Paris works, published in the early 1800s, and various miscellaneous views separately published. It appears that as his final acquisition he purchased from Firmin-Didot his edition of the Antiquités de la Grande Grèce. The (eclectic) ordering and binding of the collection in red morocco by J. Wright completed a remarkable tour-de-force, and the set now forms a monument to Beriah Botfield as one of the most important English collectors of grand illustrated books of the last century. The set comprises:

A FINE COMPOSITE ROMAN COPY OF THE VEDUTE, the plates arranged according to the Hind chronological order and numbered intermittently throughout in pencil at upper right margin, several of the numbers shaved by the binder.
