Beautiful engravings from a complete lunatic; easy to see why Coleridge loved him. (

A nice collection of all of Piranesi’s prints in publication order with some minor information about each collections printing. Images need to be larger to understand a lot of the detail. I particularly like the Carceri series. Fortunately for ya’ll the St. Louis Public Library has all of the plates scanned with zoom function on its website. (
