Prisoners on a Projecting Platform, from: Carceri d'Invenzione Giovanni

Plate X from: Carceri d'Invenzione. A very fine lifetime impression of Robison’s rare first state (of six), before the addition of the projecting beam and chains at the right edge and before the ink dabbing on the underside of the projecting platform with prisoners. Printed with a light, selectively wiped tone. From the First Edition, First and Second Issues, published by G. Bouchard, Rome, 1749–circa 1760. With wide margins around the uncleaned plate edges. – With the characteristic flattened central fold; faint handling creases and some foxing. Verso with old adhesive tape at the upper edge. The number ‘14’ inscribed in brown ink in the upper left margin. Otherwise in good condition. Very rare in this early state of printing. | 1720 Venice - Rome 1778 | 15.-18. Jahrhundert | Druckgrafik | Nummer: 26x1355
