Antiquités d'Herculanum
Antiquités d'Herculanum is a 1804 Paris publication by Tommaso Piroli, Francesco Piranesi and Pietro Piranesi, issued by Piranesi frères and Leblanc as a plate book of classical art. Its pictures are rotated engravings of Roman marble busts on pedestals, drawn in fine parallel hatching with a plain cream paper ground and a thin ruled border; a designer might take their clean, measured linework and the sculptural shading of curled hair and drapery.
