Beger, Lorenz, 1653-1705 · 1705 · [Berolini] : [Typis Ulrici Liebperti] · 32 pictures

A 1705 Berlin collection of engraved plates by Lorenz Beger, drawing Hercules scenes from ancient relics and a few modern paintings, aimed at antiquarian scholars. The pictures are pale line engravings of carved reliefs, altars and statues, with Hercules shown in action, seated, or flanked by figures in architectural frames. A designer could draw on their classical figure poses, decorative sarcophagus-style panels and framed composition.
