Ponte di Ferro della Pio-Latina presso Velletri.
[Etched by Cleter Gregorio.]
[n.d., c.1865.]
Aquatint. 235 x 280mm (9¼ x 11"), with large margins. Crease in bottom right corner.
A view of an iron railway viaduct at Velletri, near Rome, with a locomotive crossing. It was published in 'Le Scienze e le Arti sotto il pontificato di Pio IX' by Paolo Cacchiatelli and Gregorio Cleter, a record of the artistic, architectural, urban planning and scientific enterprises promoted by Pope Pius IX. This viaduct was needed to connect Rome and Velletri by rail. Originally it was planned as a monumental stone bridge, but an English company offered a cast iron bridge that they had built for a client but which had been rejected; it was shipped out and erected, allowing the Pope to open the railway in 1866.
[Ref: 56951] £260.00 (£312.00 incl.VAT)
