Map of Rome



This is a photograph of an antique lithograph that was published over 100 years ago. Originally, it was published in a French encyclopedia; thus, the wording is written in French. It is hand-water colored and has amazing details of the layout of Rome. To be forward to the site, either click on the title or CLICK HERE.

Art of Rome



This is a photograph of a page found in an antique French encyclopedia; the above and below are two sides to the same sheet of paper. The illustration - as found in the encyclopedia - is well over 100 years in age and does have some browning (more on the edges of the paper) but the paper is still flexible. (If interested, the original image is for sale; just add a comment at the bottom of this blog.) To be forward to the attached image, either click on the title.
