Piranesi started to issue the plates for the Vedute in 1748, with various combinations of plates issued over the following thirty years until his death in 1778, and then by his son Francesco in Paris from 1800-1807. The plates contained here are, from contemporary Roman issues: H.1-12, 14-60; from the first Paris edition: H.119, 64, 125, 106, 71, 79, 82, 86, 74, 111, 109, 100, 114, 95, 78, 137, 76, 77, 115, 123, 67, 72, 68, 83, 69, 70, 65, 73, 84, 61, 62, 63, 75, 92, 112, 132, 133, 113, 90, 131, 93, 85.
