• Calcographie des frères Piranesi [c. 1804]

Curatorial Notes:
  • The handwritten annotations on this pricelist remind the reader why Piranesi etched his Catalogo print. Whenever he published a new book or raised the price of an item, he could re-etch the Catalogo print to reflect those changes. When Piranesi’s sons needed to update a pricelist set in letterpress, they had to print a completely new list. Designed to accompany their catalog, this pricelist has a handwritten addition noting the Paris address where customers could buy the works. The listed items include those by Piranesi himself as well as newer works published by his sons.
