"Testa colossale creduta rappresentare la Spagna" (Kolossal head commonly belived to represent Spain) is a wonderful black and white etching on paper, realized by the Italian artist Francesco Cecchini (1790 - 1820 ca), after Agostino Tofanelli (Lucca 1770 - Rome 1834) , as the inscriptions on plates on lower margins report “Agostino Tofanelli delineò/ Francesco Cecchini incise Roma”. This original print is numbered on plate in Roman numerals on higher margin: “Tom II /Tav XX" and is a plate from the series "Illustrazioni de'Monumenti scelti Borghesiani già esistenti nella Villa sul Pincio () date ora per la prima volta in luce dal cav. Gio. Gherardo De Rossi e da Stefano Piale sotto la guida di Vincenzo Feoli", by Ennio Quirino Visconti, published by Stamperia de Romanis in Rome, 1821. This old master’s original prints representing a precious piece of the Borghese collection is in excellent conditions with a usual yellowing of the paper at the edges, some light signs of the time (some little wormholes on the left margin beyond the marginal line of the matrix and a thinning of the paper along the margins) but with fresh impression. Illustrazioni de' Monumenti scelti Borghesiani This collection in two volumes is a beautifully detailed catalog of classical sculptures collected by Prince Borghese (1730-1800) in his Villa on the Pincio. Ennio Quirino Visconti (1751 - 1818) wrote the texts that accompany the large branches depicting. To these writings, which were found and made available by the son of the illustrious archaeologist, the publishers added only a few illustrations relating to some minor monument of which copper had already been engraved. The engraved title-plate are signed by draughtsmen like Agostino Tofanelli, Stefano Tofanelli, Bernardino Nocchi, Domenico de Angelis or Teodoro Matteini, and by engravers Pietro Fontana Veneto, P. Vitali, Pietro Bettelini, Giovanni Folo Veneto, Giovanni Brunetti da Ravenna, Giovanni Ottaviani, Francesco Cecchini, Gio. Batta. Leonetti, Girolamo Carattoni, Domenico Cunego, Luigi Cunego, Alessandro Mochetti, Luigi Pizzi, Angelo Campanella or Giacomo Bossi. The Volume I shows ancient full-length statues, of the Borghese warrior...

Surimono is a beautiful color woodcut with white and silver gold embossing, made between 1820 and 1846 by the Japanese artist Yashima Gakutei. A young woman is squatting on the floor, holding a musical instrument, the favorite subject of the Japanese master. With a layer of dust, a small hole in the upper margin to the right and some fading, the original print is still in good condition and retains its incredible charm. Really the surimonos are a genre of Japanese woodblock prints, privately commissioned for special occasions. Being produced in a small edition for a mostly educated audience, surimono were often more experimental in subject matter and treatment, and extravagant in printing technique, than commercial prints. Good conditions except a minor fading on top and some brushing of paper. Yashima Gakutei (c. Osaka, 1786 - 1868) The Japanese artist and poet was a pupil of both Totoya Hokkei...
