By Luigi Rossini
Located in Alamo, CA
Early 19th century etching entitled "Veduta dello scavo del Foro Trajano" from Luigi Rossini's "Le Antichita Romane" (Ancient Rome), published in Rome in 1823.

The etching is presented in a silver-colored wood frame with an off-white double mat with a black inner mat. It is in very good condition. See item # LU117324669702 for another Rossini etching...
