It is unclear whether the prints in question are Roman or Parisian in origin (or neither). Both etchings appear to be on wove paper, without obvious watermarks. The Trevi foundation etching bears some wear, including pervasive time staining and a fold towards the top left quadrant. The Monte Aureo etching is generally much brighter, with limited damage apart from some light cockling. Please see additional images available on request.
