Alessandro Lescano, Map of Ancient Rome, Original Etching, 1848

About This Piece

Plan of Rome is a beautiful original black and white etching, a rare and antique illustrated map of the eternal city of Rome, published in 1848. Image Dimensions: 29.5 x 43 cm Original title: Pianta di Roma elevata nel MDCCCXLVIII, engraved at the center of the higher margin. This original print was the frontispiece of the book "Principali vedute di Roma" illustrated with 32 or 34 etchings (it depends on the edition) of Roman views by Alessandro Moschetti, published in Rome. In the middle of the sheet, there is a high or "elevated" view of Rome, as the title suggests, and its main historical monuments numbered. On the right, there is a corresponding index of the most notable places (engraved all around the central plan of Rome) such as "Trajan's Forum, Roman Forum, Campidoglio, Temple of Vesta, Piazza Di S. Pietro in the Vatican, Colosseum, Pantheon and Pyramid of Cajo Cestio" . In very good conditions, except for three rips of the paper restored and some thinnings of the paper, this is an interesting and precious piece to collect!

About the Creator

Front

Swedish-born Sofia Lagerkvist, Charlotte von der Lancken, and Anna Lindgren comprise the design studio Front. They started collaborating in 2004 while they were still students at Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts, and Design in Stockholm. Originally they started out as four, but Katja Sävström left the group in 2009.

Front's design objects often communicate a story about the process of creation, about the nature of the material, or about the expectations of the observer/user. With every new project, they challenge the role of the designers and the conventions of today’s design industry, integrating surprising elements such as magic tricks or living animals.

Front has developed projects for brands like Stelton, Gemla, Porro, Moroso, Booo, Established & Sons, and Moooi, as well as limited editions for galleries such as Galerie Kreo in Paris.
