Vue de Rome et du derrière de l'église St. Pierre prise sur les hauteurs du mont Vatican hors la ville, undated. Silvestre, Israël, 1621-1691, etcher. undated The panorama depicts the view from an elevated perspective behind St. Peter's Basilica looking towards the back of the church, the city of Rome and the surrounding countryside. Verses by Georges de Scudéry in five columns begin with: "Par quel Art au-dessus de l' La vieille et la nouvelle Rome," and end with "Ouy, d'une adresse sans Une des merveilles du monde." The legend identifies 18 sites. Title from Faucheux. Ref.: Faucheux 29. Imprint: Paris. State 1. 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. 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, ," (with space for adding an inventory number), encircled with additional text "Collezione Contessa Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt."
