A Venetian 1841 collection of plates reproducing Roman antiquities from Herculaneum and Pompeii, compiled by Louis Barré and others for art students and collectors of classical art. The plates are fine line engravings of sculptures, with standing figures drawn full length on plain paper and little surrounding detail. A designer could take from them the drapery folds of Roman statuary, classical contrapposto poses, and the sparse hatched linework typical of antiquarian reproductions.

Art, Roman
