In 1540 Antonio Lafreri migrated to Rome and began publishing maps and other printed images that depicted major monuments and antiquities in Rome. This volume places these prints in their historical context and examines their publishing history. It traces their journey from the creator and publishers to pilgrims, collectors, and, dealers.
