Abstract (en)

Catalogue of an album once owned by Swiss engraver Amsler which was recently acquired by the Ashmolean Museum (Oxford). The album consists chiefly of 33 portrait drawings, almost all made by Amsler himself while in Rome ca.1816-1825. The sitters include many artists and architects. Bailey gives a full account of Amsler's career.
