Small-scale prints of famous early Christian churches in Rome were enormously popular with Grand Tourists wishing to take home a visual memory from their time abroad. For those who could not afford a large-scale painting or sculpture, the Piranesi family of printmakers obliged by providing printed views of Roman monuments, such as the ones here. Laura Piranesi, whose name appears on the prints displayed, worked alongside her father and brother in the family workshop in Rome; transactional documents suggest that she also kept the books for their printmaking business. After her father’s death, Laura Piranesi continued the practice of producing printed views, but on a smaller scale, creating what might be thought of as a precursor to the postcard souvenir.
