Two Scans from Piranesi![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cCNJEWRVWoOIV2drwlcEm7R2cC3GH2zSluKKjIx-6qd9xXmymkXa7BE4LLs5V_6UGcTM2Prv36cw8V0yIp2rUHXia-MGGmR9v0Ky0toRJSZCTEzdA6pKS7JPFdsOcEyM-9KAgQ/s320/8+The+Staircase+with+Trophies+small.jpg)

Since I've mentioned Piranesi's Dark Prisons series of etchings a few times, I figure it makes sense to put in a couple of scans of them. These are two I haven't seen as often online, "The Staircase with Trophies" above, and "Prisoners on a Projecting Platform" below. (Actually Piranesi didn't name them, but those are the typical titles for them--they're numbers 8 and 10 in the revised sequence.)
