BARBAULT, Jean (c.1705-1766). Les plus beaux monuments de Rome ancienne. [With:] – Les plus beaux edifices de Rome moderne. Rome: chez Bouchard & Gravier, de l'Imprimerie de Komarek, 1761-1763.
A fine set of Barbault’s elegant views of the architectural highlights of ancient and modern Rome. The volume dealing with Roman antiquities has the plates mainly arranged in pairs of one large view and one smaller plate with relating subject matter. The modern views are all impressive double-page plates, with Barbault offering alternative differing angles and points of view, so that he could fill the iconographic voids that could be found in his rival, Giambattista Piranesi’s work. Brunet I, 646; Cohen-Ricci 112; Graesse I, 289; first work: Fowler 37; RIBA 184; second work: Berlin Kat. 2712.
2 volumes, folio (505 x 376mm). Half-titles, engraved vignettes on titles and 30 tailpieces, 44 double-page and 73 single-page plates (44 of which with 2 separate impressions), woodcut decorative initials (first work with half-title with large closed tear with neat old repair, very short marginal tear to Rr1, second work with some occasional light spotting and browning). Contemporary half calf (extremities rubbed, foot of spine of second work repaired).
