Monika Schmidt: Specialist
- since 1970
- for
original
copper engravings
by Giovanni
Battista Piranesi.
In the years
1749 / 50 a
first edition
of the Carceri
('Prisons')
- with the title
page and 13
lightly etched
plates - was
published by
Bouchard in
Rome.
In 1761 Piranesi
published a
second edition
after he had
generally reworked
and darkened
the plates.
Two plates were
added and the
still existing
plates were
altered - in
most cases -
very considerably
in details of
composition. ...
