1683Un foglio stampato su due lati, cm. 39 x 49, proveniente dal celebre volume di Meyer, “L’arte di restituire a Roma la tralasciata navigazione del suo Tevere” (Roma, Camera apostolica, 1683). In queste pagine l’ingegnere descrive la storia del porto di Ancona, il suo declino in conseguenza dell’innalzamento del suo fondo, ed espone un progetto di recupero dello stesso. Il testo è stampato su due facciate, e su una delle due troviamo la grande veduta incisa della città e del porto. Condizioni non perfette, lacuna restaurata nella parte centrale. This leaf, printed on both sides, derives from the notorius Meyer’s work: “L’arte di restituire a Roma la tralasciata navigazione del suo Tevere” (Roma, Camera apostolica, 1683). In these pages the engineer tells about the Ancona port, and about its downhill, suggesting a project to retrieve it. A big etched sight of the city and its port.
