Description:
Milano: Stamperia Real, 1830. 8vo.  231 x 154 mm. (9 x 6 inches).  Contemporary calf backed marbled paper boards, two engraved plates; spine rubbed, joints slightly cracked, and some light foxing but sound and not unattractive.

Longhi succeeded Vangelisti as the leading figure in Milanese engraving and was best known for producing dry-point etchings and writing an important work on the history of engraving.  His book, La Calcografia became a standard bio-bibliography of the works of both Italian and continental engravers from the 15th through the 18th centuries.  It begins with a short history of the origins of the art, a list of tools and techniques, and descriptions of the difficulties encounter in the process of engraving and printing images.  The book also includes a… Read More
