Gemmarvm Affabre Scvlptarvm Thesavrvs: Qvem Svis Svmptibvs Havd Exigvis Nec Parvo Stvdio Collegit Io. Mart. Ab Ebermayer Norimbergensis
A 1720 Nuremberg collection of engraved gem and cameo designs, assembled by Johann Martin von Ebermayer and described by Johann Jacob Baier, showing antique carved stones for classical and archaeological study. The plates are fine black-line engravings in ovals and roundels, with each gem set as a small scene of figures in classical dress, and a designer could take from them compositional models for medallions, seals, and framed emblematic vignettes.
