19th-century lithographic print of an 18th century copper plate engraving by the prolific Italian artist and engraver Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778). Features an urn from antiquity. There is an expected visible fold line across the sheet, as this was issued as a double-fold print. Otherwise the engraving is in a very good condition for its age. Framed in dark wood under glass. The original 18th-century Piranesi engraving is titled Veduta di Prospetto di un Vaso Antico di Marmo con suo Piedestallo (Perspective View of an Ancient Marble Vase with its Pedestal).
