Text below image: The Church of St. Mary the Great at Rome, with the additional Buildings on each side. Also The Antique Column brought hither from the Temple of Peace, by Pope Paul V. Robert Sayer (1725-1794) was one of the most prolific and successful British publishers, cartographers, and print-sellers of the Georgian era. Following his brother's marriage to the daughter in law of the publisher John Overton, Sayer continued the business, branching out into sea charts, maritime atlases, and general maps. In addition to his cartographic achievements, Sayer was also instrumental in growing the public taste for prints after paintings, particularly those by Johan Zoffany, with whom he developed a lifelong friendship as well as a lucrative business partnership. Following his death, the business was continued by Laurie and Whittle. Condition: Trimmed within plate mark and tipped to album page, some minor spots of foxing. |
