Additional information
Bound in volume with index preceding drawings and prints numbered 1-115 (page no. 44). Probably from the collection of Cardinal Albani, acquired for George III by James Adam in 1762. This is one of eight drawings in the same volume, all depicting different aspects of the port at Ancona with annotations in the same hand. No. 53 is dated '18 April 1659 in Ancona'. The drawing has an irregular shape, it is superimposed to no. 45, and it functions as a flap that allows comparing the architect's project with the damaged condition of the existing fortification. Annotated on verso: '129 / Pianta del revellino di Civita Vecch [missing]'.
