"Te Papa has a complete set of the 20 etchings that make up Koch's series Die Römischen Ansichten (Views of Rome), presented to the Colonial Museum by Bishop Ditlev Monrad in 1869. The original commission came about through expatriate Germans in Rome who subscribed to the series to support Koch who experienced hardship through the French occupation. Their rapid production ensued, with all twenty made by October 1810. To try to earn a better living, he moved to Vienna in 1812, taking his plates with him, and brought them back to Rome in 1815. [..] All 20 plates for the Vedute Romane were donated in 1999 by Koch's descendants to the Museo Olevano Romano. VG+: In great shape, with clean pages and sharp edges.
