Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt print collection of views of Rome. Series I. General views of Rome (topical collection; multiple creators for art works; Pecci Blunt, Anna Laetitia,...; [1589-circa 1860])

Note: Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt collected prints, published works, drawings and paintings thematically focused upon the city of Rome. Her collection included views, plans, maps of Rome and depictions of the inhabitants of the city in popular costume. As intense urban development under Mussolini transformed Rome in the 1930's, interest in the city's past grew among certain circles in Rome. Pecci-Blunt's collection came to be known as "Roma Sparita" because of its nostalgic focus on the Rome of a bygone era. Pecci-Blunt marked many of the prints in her collection with her collector's marks. Small, circular marks found on the recto of the prints, typically in the lower right corner, display Pecci-Blunt's family coat of arms, a comet, encircled with the text: "Coll. C.ssa A. L. Pecci Blunt." Circular marks on the verso of the prints, typically in the lower center, denote Pecci-Blunt's name for her collection, "Roma Sparita." The stamps contain the text; "Roma Sparita, N....," (with space for adding an inventory number), encircled with additional text "Collezione Contessa Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt." Physical Desc.:97 prints : etching, aquatint, engraving, lithography, b&w, hand coloring ; various sizes. Summary: The collection consists of 97 prints of views of the city of Rome, dating from 1589 to circa 1860, from the library of Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt (1885-1971). The majority of the prints (over 50) were printed in Rome and made by Italian printmakers, while others were issued in Antwerp, Augsburg, London, Milan, and Paris. Printmakers particularly well represented in this collection include Israël Silvestre, Agostino Penna, Bartolomeo Pinelli, and Antonio Sarti.
