H Cock ex. [Antwerp, n.d., c.1550.]
Engraving, 16th century watermark. 150 x 210mm (6 x 8¼"). Trimmed into image, laid on album paper.
A long and curved barrel vault, probably part of the Colosseum. Hieronymus Cock (c.1517-70) vistited Rome in the late 1540s, inspiring him to start up his own publishing firm in Antwerp in 1548, which became the most important print publishing firm from outside Italy. After his death in 1570 the firm was continued by his widow (Volcxken Diercx) until her death in 1600, when many of the plates were acquired by Philips Galle. However this plate seems to have been acquired by the van Doetecum brothers, who published it in 'Operum Antiquorum Romanorum' in 1562, with Cock's name removed.

Etching. 390 x 540mm (15½ x 21¼"), with large margins, uncut.
According to Rossini's title (one of the few in the image rather than underneath), these are the remains of the Curia Hostilia, an early Senate House built by Tullius Hostilius, the third king of Rome, on Monte Caelio.

[The Forum of Nerva, Rome] The Castle of Andalusia.
Publishe'd as the Act directs, Dec. 15 1783 by E. Tringham, No.36 Hosier Lane, West Smithfield
Rare engraving; platemark 155 x 280mm (6 x 11"), with very large margins. Slight foxing.
Despite the title of this print, it depicts the Forum of Nerva in Rome, an ancient site in the middle of the city. The plate was seemingly reissued, with the erroneous title added, by publisher E Tringham, who often published copies of earlier prints.
