No date. No place. [Rome] c. 1776. Folio. Engraved throughout. Collation runs: title page; portrait of Carracci, 38 numbered engravings, initials A.C. usually etched within the plate marks. FOLLOWED BY six further unnumbered engravings, making 44 in all (plus the engraved title page and portrait). The main series of 38 engravings is known as an attempt by Venanzio Monaldini to present anew engravings that had already been published by Vincenzo Belli in Rome, where they were signed Marcus Antonius Bellavia or MAB (ie. Marcantonio Bellavia) in a volume nevertheless devoted ostensibly devoted to Carracci. The six extra engravings have no markings or explanation but are rather good, and appear to be along the same lines, depicting classical scenes (the death of Medusa?; Triton), the Mother Mary, and a very good depiction of three faces (see photos). A later collector has added in pencil the Barstch numbers of many of the engravings, and suggests that the portrait with three faces show shows members of the Carracci family. A very attractive, and indeed intriguing volume. Perhaps there were different issues: in ours, plate 35 is correctly numbered and is in usual ink, not red.
