Physical Description
T.pl., 18 pl.; 376×520 mm.
General Note
As this is a second set of eighteen plates, each plate is numbered 'II.1' to 'II.18'.
Responsibility Note
The title-plate-cum-dedication is signed as designed by 'Hieronymus Columna' and engraved by 'Julianus Giampiccolus'. The eighteen numbered plates are all signed as designed by 'Marc: Ricci' and engraved by 'Iulian: Giampiccoli'. The name of Tiepolo which appears in the title-plate is not further explained. The name also occurs on the title-plate of the first set of eighteen plates in the form, 'adnitente Joanne Bapta Theupolo', where it is thought that G.B. Tiepolo first etched the figures on the plates before Giampiccoli etched the landscapes round them.
It is unclear to which of the Antonio Maria Zanettis this set of plates is dedicated. He is a 'son of Girolamo'; perhaps the description 'Antiquitatis Studiosissimo' indicates A.M. Zanetti the younger.

Summary Note
No publication-date appears on the title-plate or any other plate. Scholars disagree whether the set was published before or after the death of Bartolomeo Zucconi in November 1735.
This second set of eighteen engravings after Marco Ricci follows the publication of a first set, 'Primas has decem et octo Tabulas, Marci Riccii'.
The plates all show landscapes. The design of the title-plate includes a bas-relief which incorporates the name 'Tiepolo'.
Binding Note
