Henri Gautier de Nisme (de Nimes) - L'arte di acquarellare (...) con annotazioni e supplimenti ne' quali delle regole e pulizia del - 1760

Volume in 8° (cm 20.5), pages (XXIV) 243, half leather with title and gold tooling on the spine, with a folded copper-engraved plate that has been folded multiple times. A stain runs across the entire volume at the top right corner. The original edition of the rare Italian translation. Very interesting is the final appendix with the terms of Civil Architecture, both theoretical and practical. A small work written with much judgment, and excellent for the practices it teaches (Cf. Cicognara).
