- This is one of three prints providing a full view of Rome (T,16.45-47) which are accompanied by a view of Monte Maria (T,16.44) and were published by Sickler in 1817; they follow a map he had engraved by Pietro Ruga after his own drawing, which he published with a text describing the antiquities and geology of Rome in 1811 under the title 'Plan topographique de la campagne de Rome dessiné et expliqué par F. Ch. L. Sickler D, a l'usage des voyageurs'. The text was entitled 'Plan ... considerée sous le rapport de la géologie et des antiquités'. Later editions were published in Rome 'chez Venance Monaldini Libraire Place d'Espagne N.79, 1816' and London by Ackermann under the title 'Panoramic View of Rome and its environs'. The panoramas were presumably issued with later editions of the text. Sickler may have been responsible for the panorama and view as well as the plan. The engraver is not recorded.
