Two copperplate engravings, the first "Veduta interna della Basilica di S. Pietro in Vaticano," showing the interior of St. Peters in Rome; the second one being "Parte di ampio magnifico Porto all'uso degli antichi Romani...," in which the artist renders an imaginary port city filled with grandiose classical architecture. The engravings are in modern wooden frames.

DOA 19.5 x 24.5 in. and 20 x 26.5 in.

Both engravings have a central vertical fold; a few small marginal stains; pencil notations en verso and in the lower front margin of the St. Peters print. The paper is generally clean and stable.
