This vintage postcard features a detailed black and white reproduction of an ancient Roman inscription attributed to Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a renowned 18th-century Italian artist and engraver famous for his depictions of Roman antiquities. The inscription references the Campus Martius, a historic area in ancient Rome, and is artistically rendered to resemble a weathered stone tablet with architectural fragments at its base. The print is credited to A. Vincent, located at 4 Rue des Beaux-Arts in Paris, indicating a European origin and a likely publication date in the early 20th century.The postcard is a standard size (5.5 x 3.5 inches) and displays a classic divided back design typical of early 20th-century French postcards, with 'CARTE POSTALE' and sections labeled 'Correspondance' and 'Adresse'. This piece is unposted and blank, making it ideal for collectors or historical enthusiasts interested in classical Roman art, antique ephemera, or European postcard history. The artistic and cultural significance of the Piranesi engraving, combined with the postcard's Parisian publishing imprint, makes it a compelling collectible for those fascinated by classical antiquity and vintage prints.
