A set of 18th Century gilt framed bucolic etchings in black on ivory laid paper. under protective glass, by Francesco Londonio. This is a series of twelve pastoral scenes dedicated to Count Carlo Firmian. Dated 1762-1763.
Francesco Londonio (Milan, 1723 – Milan, 1783)[1] was an Italian painter, engraver, and scenographer, active mainly in Milan in a late-Baroque or Rococo style.
Londonio was something of a specialist of etched rustic scenes. He seems to have made a number of series with these subjects. Many survive as single leaf impressions in the British Museum, National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Also held in the Art Inst of Chicago and many other museums.

Further reading:
Londonio trained as a painter under Ferdinando Porta and Giovanni Battista Sassi in Milan, but traveled to Rome and Naples. He studied engraving with Benigno Bossi. He is best known for his paintings and etchings of rustic and pastoral landscapes and subjects, with both animals and peasants playing a dominating role over the landscape. This focus on genre themes was popular among the wealthy patrons of the time, specially in Northern Italy; and artists such as the Brescian painters Ceruti and Cifrondi worked with such themes.
