Vendramini Mosca, Francesco, Dall'Acqua, Cristoforo, 1734-1787 · 1779 · In Vicenza : Per Francesco Vendramini Mosca · 45 pictures

A two-part guide to the architecture, painting and sculpture of Vicenza, published by Francesco Vendramini Mosca in 1779 with plates engraved by the local printmaker Cristoforo Dall'Acqua, written for travellers and students of Palladio's city. The plates are line-engraved elevations and facades of palaces, villas and churches, with rusticated bases, columned orders, balustrades, arched portals and roofline statues drawn in fine parallel hatching, giving designers clean architectural line art, repeatable window and column units, and ornament details.
