Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you.

Narrative: Under the direction of Prof. d'Espouy, the graduates of the famous Paris school of art, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, measured, rendered and shaded the views of the famous monuments of ancient Greece and Rome. These drawing were then reproduced by a 19th C. process called heliography. From a ca 1820s narrative: The Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, In the Campo Vaccino: A DOUBLE row of trees runs up the Roman Forum towards the arch of Titus. The theatre of universal power, upon which was once decided the fates of nations and amassed all the splendour and magnificence of ancient Rome, in temples, triumphal arches, crowds of statues, and multitudes of living men, is now only at times enlivened by the degradation of a cattle market. The church of St. Lorenzo in Miranda received its appellation from the splendid buildings with which it once stood surrounded. An ancient edifice in front was demolished by Pope Paul III.; while the ten columns and two pilasters of the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina have been preserved by the sanctity of the new building reared upon its walls, although tlie beautiful portico was turned to no account, and still exists but as a screen to the tasteless and distorted front of St. Lorenzo. These columns arc buried about one third. The shafts are of cipollino marble, four feet nine inches in diameter, and about forty-six feet high. is preserved a portion of the main wall of the temple. In front is an inscription— Divo Antonino et Divae Faustinae ex S. C. The white marble frieze is ornamented in a good style of sculpture; and the whole, as an order, ranks among the most beautiful remaining at Rome. The church was built, in 1602, by the Roman apothecaries. The saint over the great altar is by Pietro di Cortona. On the right of this is the entrance to the church of Saints Cosimo and Damiano, belonging to the Franciscans. According to Nardini, this was anciently a temple of Remus, but by some is called of Romulus. The entrance is adorned with two Corinthian columns and cornice, in bad taste. The column half buried is of wretched sculpture. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy! Any print purchased from me may be returned for any (or no) reason for a full refund including all postage.
