Les ruines de Balbec is a 1757 London publication by Robert Wood, Giovanni Battista Borra, Paul Fourdrinier and Thomas Major, recording the Roman ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon for an antiquarian and architectural audience. Its pictures are measured engraved elevations, plans and sectional drawings of temple walls, columns, niches and cornices, rendered in fine grey line and wash that a designer could use for classical proportion and ornament studies.
