La plus belle suite de gravures sur les fontaines de Rome et ses environs imprimée et gravée à Rome en 1691. 4 feuillets de titre, 4 feuillets de dédicace et 99 gravures d’après Giovanni Battista Falda (1643-1678) et Francesco Venturini (1630-1710) interprétées par ces derniers et L. Rouhier. Elles représentent des fontaines pour la plupart construites aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles. « Exact et bien gravé. Le 4e livre, contenant28 planches, manque quelquefois ». Brunet, II, 1172. Exemplaire d’un très beau tirage et bien conservé, proche de l’exemplaire de la New York Public Library dont la partie iv ne comprenait que 21 estampes contre 28 dans le présent exemplaire, proche aussi du second exemplaire « The Library of Congress ». Les planches sont ici numérotées. “This collection of plates is the most charming that has ever appeared on the fountains of Rome and its environs. Part I was issued about 1675 (Berlin Catalog 3603); Part II before 1687 as Gio. Francesco Negroni, to whom it was dedicated as "Chierico Delle Camera Apostolica", became papal legate to Bologna in 1687 ; Part III probably about 1689 because it was dedicated to Livio Odescalchi, nephew of His Holiness Pope Innocent XI who died in 1689. As in the case of Falda’s Nuovo Teatro all the copies examined vary in numbering and arrangement of the plates. The New York Public Library has a copy of Part I-IV, dated [1691?], with unnumbered plates : Part I [1-33], II [1-18], III [I-28], IV [I-21] ; The Library of Congress has one copy with numbered plates, Part I-II [1675] I-33, 1-18 pl., Part III [1691] I-28 pl., and a second copy with Part I-III numbered, Part IV unnumbered plates [1-28]. The Berlin Catalog (3603) lists a dated issue of 1691 with numbered plates in the four parts. The New York Public Library has a much later edition, issued with the stamp of the "Calcografia Di Roma" in the corner of the plates. Between 1798 and 1815, many sets of earlier plates were reprinted under the direction of Giuseppe Valadier. There was also an edition with 42 plates, Nuremberg, 1685. Berlin Catalog 3603-3604 ; Bartsch XXI, p. 239-245, 248-249 ; Cicognara 3863” (Fowler Architectural collection)”. Giovanni Battista Falda, né vers 1640 à Valdaggia, dans le Milanais, se rendit très jeune à Rome pour s’y perfectionner dans le dessin, et depuis s’appliqua tout entier à la gravure. Huber (Manuel des amateurs) trouve une grande ressemblance entre la manière de Falda et celle d’Israël Silvestre. Il a gravé les principales vues de Rome d’après ses propres dessins, ou d’après ceux du cavalier Bernin. Ses estampes à l’eau-forte sont très recherchées. (W. S.) « Les dessins et gravures de ses jardins, fontaines et édifices publics sont exécutés avec une science très grande de la perspective et ornés de personnages ». Benezit, IV, 255. Superbe exemplaire, très pur, gravé sur grand papier, conservé dans sa reliure de l’époque. Provenance: Earls of Macclesfield avec ex-libris. A crisp copy of Falda’s views of Roman fountains, which was completed by Venturini after Falda’s death. The watermark is predominantly a fleur-de-lys inside a double circle (Heawood 1600 ; see BAL RIBA for a discussion of dating by watermark). BAL, II, 1014 ; Fowler & Baer, 117 (éd. De 1675-1689) ; Millard, IV, 36 (… this is the most sophisticated and elaborate collection of plates ever engraved on this subject”) ; Katalog Berlin, 3603.
