way to make it easier to maintain the structure
of the book.) Some of the prints evidently were
not yet finished. Nine plates included in the fi-
nal version evidently were not yet cut, suggest-
ing that Tessin saw drawings for these images
in 1718. Others were included in an unfinished
state. Most notably, the elevation of the Trautson
garden palace shows the structure and one figure,
but is missing the clouds and the rest of the staff-
age that would later fill out the scene (fig. 3).15
This image is identical to the plate included in
the 1712 manuscript, and while it is likely that an
old proof impression was used – other images in
the Tessins’ volume are early proofs, including one that is an earlier state than the impression in
the manuscript16 – the fragmentary nature of the
image suggests that the plate still had not been
finished by 1719-20. One of the few images to
be heavily reworked between 1712 and 1721, the
Domus Aurea of Nero, is missing altogether from
the Tessins’ copy, suggesting that this plate may
have been recut at that very moment, and that an
impression was unavailable.
Two other differences stand out between the
book Heraeus sent to Stockholm and the edi-
tion published a year later: first, the semi-inde-
pendent fifth book, comprising thirteen plates of
vases, was omitted entirely; second, there is no
15 This drawing for this engraving also served as the basis for another print of the building published by Joseph
Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, who is credited in the caption with the drawing. For this image, see Prange, Entwurf
und Phantasie (cit. n. 1), p. 150.
16 The Temple of Diana at Ephesus has a Roman number “VII” added in graphite to the upper right of the image. This
was cut into the plate before the impression included in the 1712 manuscript was taken.
