Carnival masqueraders, the fish market and the start of the riderless Barberi horse race catch the street life of Rome in these drawings by Henri Regnault (1843–1871), the French painter who won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1866. They come from the English edition of Francis Wey's Rome, published by Chapman and Hall in 1872, the year after his death. Women of the Roman Campagna, clerical attendants, scholars in broad hats, shepherds and country people drinking complete the scenes, and one carnival plate shows German masqueraders marching through the city. Bertrand, J. Ettlin and C. Laplante engraved the drawings on wood.
