The most prominent family members are depicted as knights on horseback in full armour together with their coat of arms which are described in more detail on the final pages. The work is quite scarce with only 9 copies recorded in institutions and 3 in sales records.The work was written and illustrated by the German engraver and publisher Raphael Custos or Custodis ca. 1590-1664. Together with his older half-brothers Lucas and Wolfgang Kilian he was a member of the Kilian family of engravers in Augsburg. He was trained by his father Dominicus Custos 1560-1612 and worked for his company for many years. Raphael's first major work was Regum neapolitanorum vitae et effigies 1606 for which he produced the engravings. Among his most famous works are Cabala Spiegel der Kunst und Natur in Alchymia 1615 Architectura civiles 1628 and Emblemata amoris 1622 a reprint of Otto van Veen's emblem book. He also engraved maps. His map of the Iller river basin published in 1619 is considered the oldest map of the Allgäu region.With a paper label "E5" mounted on the front pastedown.

1772rif. 21936Rome 1772. Copper engraving by Ottaviani after drawings by Savorelli and Camporesi printed in light brown coloured ink with contemporary hand-colouring. Trimmed to platemark left margin. Good condition. A highly decorative print from the famous "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" series with contemporary colouring of the highest quality from the golden age of the hand-coloured print. A very fine image from the first part of a work titled "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" depicting the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Vatican. This remarkable print one of the first to be published of the decoration of the Logge on the main storey of the Vatican apartments was probably planned as early as 1760 but was not executed until between 1772 and 1776. The project as a whole was carried out by the painter Gaetano Savorelli the draughtsman Ludovico Teseo the architect Pietro Camporesi and the engravers Giovanni Ottaviani and Giovanni Volpato. The plate is remarkable not only as the first important visual record of Raphael's work but also for the quality of the hand-colouring - the work on this image is in our opinion some of the greatest to be produced in Europe during the whole of the eighteenth century: the golden age of the hand-coloured print. The whole series was of importance not just for the size and magnificent colouring of the prints but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to "borrow" elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and stimulated the taste for the "grotesque" in the neo-classical period.

A highly decorative print from the famous "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" series with contemporary colouring of the highest quality from the golden age of the hand-coloured print. A very fine image from the first part of a work titled "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" depicting the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Vatican. This remarkable print one of the first to be published of the decoration of the Logge on the main storey of the Vatican apartments was probably planned as early as 1760 but was not executed until between 1772 and 1776. The project as a whole was carried out by the painter Gaetano Savorelli the draughtsman Ludovico Teseo the architect Pietro Camporesi and the engravers Giovanni Ottaviani and Giovanni Volpato. The plate is remarkable not only as the first important visual record of Raphael's work but also for the quality of the hand-colouring - the work on this image is in our opinion some of the greatest to be produced in Europe during the whole of the eighteenth century: the golden age of the hand-coloured print. The whole series was of importance not just for the size and magnificent colouring of the prints but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to "borrow" elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and stimulated the taste for the "grotesque" in the neo-classical period.
