[PISA] - LASINIO, Carlo (1759-1838) - Pitture a fresco del Campo Santo di Pisa intagliate da Carlo Lasinio conservatore del medesimo. Florence: Alessandro Bernardini, 1828.

A fine collection of plates reproducing frescoes painted circa in 1350 in a cloister used as a cemetery for illustrious Pisan citizens up to 1779. 'They must be placed amongst the finest reproductive illustrations of the 19th-century and, indeed, were almost the first large-scale reproductions of any cycle of early Italian fresco painting' (Christopher Lloyd, Art and its Images: an exhibition of printed books containing engraved illustrations after Italian painting, Bodleian Library, Oxford: 1975, no. 44). A prospectus for the work was published in 1806 and by 1810 28 plates had been issued; a title-page was printed in 1812. The earliest issues have either 40 or 41 unnumbered plates bearing Molini & Landi's publication line with their order left up to the binder.

Elephant folio (559 x 452mm). Double-page title, 2 double-page views engraved respectively in etching and aquatint, 40 numbered double-page plates (tear repaired to title, some foxing heavier in the margins, some soiling, few small repairs and marginal tears). Modern half vellum over older marbled paper plates (extremities lightly rubbed, modern endpapers).

The lot is accompanied by a export license.
