This 1841 Venice compendium by Louis Barré, G. Buttasson, B. Musitelli and L. Podestà gathers plates of Roman paintings, bronzes and mosaics from Herculaneum and Pompeii, drawn from the Bourbon Museum and earlier publications for readers of classical art. The pictures are plain outline engravings: long vertical panels of figures in procession, reclining banqueters and mythological scenes, with framed arabesque borders and a geometric tiled floor pattern that a designer could reuse for border ornament, tile layouts or classical motif study.
