19th-century lithographic print of an 18th-century copper plate engraving by the prolific Italian artist and engraver Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778). Features three vases and a pedestal from antiquity. There is an expected visible fold line across the sheet, as this was issued as a double-fold print. There is also a faint folding line on the left side of the engraving (see pictures), but otherwise it is in a very good condition for its age. Framed in dark wood under glass. The central part has the inscription Vaso e Piedestallo Antichi di Marmo che si Vedono nel Museo Dell Autore (Ancient Marble Vase and Pedestal seen in the Dell Author Museum). It was a part of Piranesi's collection Vasi, Candelabri, Cippi, Sarcofagi, Tripodi, Lucerne, ed Ornamenti Antichi, vol. II (Vases, candelabra, grave stones, sarcophagi, tripods, lamps, and ornaments). The lithographic print of Piranesi's engraving was produced by the 19th-century publishing house Lehmann & Wentsel in Vienna.  Plea
