Choix des principales pierres gravées de la collection qui appartenait autrefois au Baron de Stosch et qui se trouve maintenant dans le cabinet du roi de Prusse
A 1798 selection of engraved gems from the collection of Baron Philipp von Stosch, later held in the cabinet of Frederick II of Prussia, published in Nuremberg by Friedrich Schlichtegroll for collectors and scholars of antiquity. Each plate shows a single gem as a framed oval or rectangular intaglio image with a caption beneath, rendered in fine black-and-grey line engraving on a blank page, offering designers a model for classical cameo-style medallion framing and mythological figure compositions.
