[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 11382345, member: 8267"]Based on the limited information you have provided, it is impossible to tell. Piranesi produced various versions/printings of his [I]Vedute di Roma[/I] (Views of Rome), including his View of the Arch of Titus, beginning in the 1740s and continuing until his death in 1778. Additional versions were printed from the original plates in the 19th century, and they remain popular images, copied in a variety of printing processes. You can find a detailed history of Piranesi's work here - [URL='https://www.georgeglazer.com/wpmain/product/view-italy-rome-piranesi-vedute-roma-title-page-antique-print-early-19th-century/#:~:text=There%20were%20several%20posthumous%20printings,Paris%20circa%201835%20to%201839']https://www.georgeglazer.com/wpmain/product/view-italy-rome-piranesi-vedute-roma-title-page-antique-print-early-19th-century/#:~:text=There were several posthumous printings,Paris circa 1835 to 1839[/URL]. There are many factors to consider when trying to determine when your particular print was made. A basic step is to compare the dimensions of the image area, the plate size, and the size of the sheet of paper with other documented examples. [URL]https://www.artic.edu/artworks/64621/view-of-the-arch-of-titus-from-vedute-di-roma-views-of-rome[/URL] [URL]https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/363083[/URL] You need to examine the type of paper used - when held to the light, do you see "laid lines", or is the paper smooth and uniform, indicating a wove paper. Is there any publisher's information printed or notated on the sheet? In other words, it is not an easy or straightforward task to authenticate.[/QUOTE]
