FRIENDS WITH AN OLD BOOK

4. Connections

Comment on Greetings – 92

This book caught my eye while browsing through the post because of its engravings. While this one contains a variety of examples of niches, mine serves as a tour guide of several different fountains of Rome. Many of those are very luxurious and rather big in size. Specially those who are located on the outside of a building contain often a niche as well. 

So it was interesting to see a reappearing part of the fountains as a stand-alone theme. And it shows that quite a lot of thought was put into designing those fountains, as they contain a lot of different decoration. 

Comment on Argument- 29

While my book doesn’t contains nearly any text and therefore doesn’t give the reader any explanation of those books are full of drawings and serve as a collection with the purpose to give the reader an overview of all different shapes and style possible. Beside that connection, there seems to be a difference of in the illustrations. While Jean Bullants drawings look more hand-made you can definitely see Giovanni Battista Fuldas drawings that the are engravings.

Nevertheless are the drawing prominent in the book.
