During their Roman publishing careers, the two foreign publishers - who worked together between 1553 and 1563 - initiated the production of prints recording art works, architecture and city views related to Antique and Modern Rome. The prints could be bought individually by tourists and collectors, but were also purchased in larger groups which were often bound together in an album.

Busto di un successore di Alessandro - Museo Laterano , Antiquities, Sculpture, Kings, Alexander, the Great, 356 B.C.-323 B.C.. Nicholas Catsimpoolas Collection

Poet (from "Twelve Characters from Shakespeare") May 20, 1775 Etched and published by John Hamilton Mortimer British Mortimer admired Salvator Rosa, absorbed aspects of his dramatic style, and sought British equivalents for his subjects. This etching comes from a series that Mortimer devoted to leading Shakespearean characters, based on drawings exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1775. Merging the seventeenth-century genres of the character head and tête d'expression (expressive head), Mortimer's designs also incorporate elements of history painting to convey the Bard's inventive range. Here he represents a poet described by Duke Theseus in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," using the image to suggest that artistic creativity bridges nature and the divine: "The Poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rowling,Doth glance from heav'n to earth, from earth to heav'n,And as imagination bodies forthThe forms of things unknown, the Poet's penTurns them to shape, and gives to airy nothingA local habitation
