About This Item
Complete set of 110 engraved plates (of 108) with ink library stamps in the plate.
Victorian re-issue of the Duke of Marlborough's Gemmarum antiquarum delectus, first published in 1783. The plates were drawn by Giovanni Battista Cipriani and stipple engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi.
The images record a selection of the carved gemstones in the collection of George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough. The cameos and intaglios show portraits of Roman emperors, Greek philosophers, gods and goddesses from Greek and Roman mythology.
This volume corresponds exactly to the copy scanned at the Internet Archive.
Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815), was an Italian engraver who specialized in the delicate toning effects of stipple engraving. After moving to London in 1784, he became Engraver to the King (George III).
Ex-Denver Library with ink stamps on all plates inside the plate marks, a few in the image, and catalog numbers on rear. The blue cloth portfolio is in three pieces and in need of repair.
Heavy book will require extra shipping charges.
