Large Giovanni Piranesi Antique Etching Vedute di Rome Blind Stamps & Plate Mark

Description: A magnificent early etching by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, one of the best known artists of the 18th century. The etching measures about 25" x 35" (including margins) and is a view related to Rome: Veduta della magnifica Sostruzione fabricata per regger la falda del Monte, e per render la Via Appia piĆ¹ commoda..., which translates to "View of the magnificent substructure built to support the base of the mountain and make the Appian Way more comfortable". I love the majesty of this piece including the mysterious figure in the underground tunnel! I believe this is part of Piranesi's famed "Vedute di Rome" (Views of Rome) series. The work is on heavy stock and has a pronounced plate mark, 2 round shield blind stamps, and no central fold line, suggesting it is an early stand-alone work not taken from a bound volume. The watermarks say "Regia Calcografia Roma", but are a little different image and omit the "Di" unlike most of the others I see online. Printed signature "Cavalier Piranesi F." in the lower left, with 483 at top within the work and XXVII in the margin. If anyone can tell me more about this piece, I would appreciate it. Condition is fair to good, with heavy foxing in the margins and on reverse, some marginal edge tears, and 2 tape pieces on the back. The etched portion is in nice condition however and would look fabulous framed. The piece has been rolled for years and that is the way I will ship it (see last photo).
