Alte Denkmäler
Alte Denkmäler is an 1849 German work by Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker, published in Göttingen by the Dieterichsche Buchhandlung, documenting ancient Greek and Roman monuments for scholars of classical art. Its plates are measured line drawings of architectural sculpture, a seated draped figure on a pediment, a column capital with a griffin, a carved gem and a relief of a helmeted warrior. For designers they offer clean hatched linework and classical ornament such as acanthus, meander and winged creatures, useful for engraved or heritage-style motifs.
