Princeton University Library was pleased to contribute its publications to a unique exhibit in the Ellen and Leonard Milberg Gallery, telling the story of the book as the centerpiece of Piranesi’s artistic production. What did these volumes mean to Piranesi, who did they bring into his world, and how can the process of making them be understood throughout his career?
