Excerpt from Selected Etchings by PiranesiThe other and more prosaic service which Piranesi can still render to architects, and especially in these days of neo-classic detail, is by means of his careful drawings of antique ornaments and vases from his own and his friends' collections. Here he not only pro vides us with an immense fund of detail, but he draws that detail in a way which gives us at once the very essence of its character. It is a character all may not love, but few can avoid feeling how suitable it is to the age in which we live.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
