This work by Piranesi includes plates of excavated antiquities many of which are dedicated to eminent virtuosi and travellers.
Architect, Robert Adam spent much of his three year period in Rome working alongside Piranesi and a group of Italian draughtsmen and engravers, four of whom returned with him to London and worked in his architectural practice. Piranesi dedicated his attempt to reconstruct the ancient Roman Campus Martius to Adam, who carried Piranesi’s love of the classical world and dedication to its forms back to London.
