19th-Century Elevation and Section Poster, Campanile di Pisa
19th-Century Elevation and Section Poster, Campanile di Pisa
A large engraved elevation dominates the centre: a column of arcades drawn in ivory black on an off-white background, punctuated by discreet ochre yellow in the captions.
1173, Pisa: the Campanile is the cathedral's free-standing bell tower, and its tilt appeared during construction, which is why elevation and section surveys were repeatedly made. In the 19th century, engraved plates served to document and teach architecture, allowing very fine lines and reproducible prints for architects and collectors. Views of the Campanile were also Grand Tour souvenirs, often pasted into travel albums.
