Raccolta dei principali costumi religiosi e militari della corte pontificia, disegnati ... / da S. Marroni.

Marroni, Salvatore. · 1840 · Roma : T. Cuccioni, [1840?] · 36 pictures

A costume plate album by Salvatore Marroni, issued in Rome by the print dealer Tommaso Cuccioni around 1840, recording the religious and military dress of the papal court for collectors, travellers and artists. Each hand-coloured plate isolates a single standing figure on a plain green platform against blank paper, so robes, capes, hats and gestures read as clean silhouettes in scarlet, crimson, gold and white.
