Collection of views, landscapes, ancient fragments and historical subjects by Grifonis. Paris, undated [circa 1750/1770]. Beautiful copy with the Stroganov coat of arms. Most of the compositions are inspired by masters of Italian and French painting, including Hubert Robert and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. It may happen that the composition of the collection varies from one copy to another – it is quite complete with all the suites, thus providing an overview of the masterpieces preserved in Rome, Naples, Bologna and Venice. This is a collection of particular importance for the history of engraving: as Gordon Ray states, "no other place has so many of those who could be called aquatint incunabula, dating from the late 1760s to early 1770s, between two covers".
