Il Museo capitolino e li monumenti antichi : che sono nel Campidoglio
This 1820 Roman publication, printed by Carlo Mordacchini and issued in Rome, is a catalogue of the ancient sculptures in the Capitoline Museum, compiled for scholars and collectors of classical antiquities. The engraved plates show single statues of fauns, draped female figures and river gods, each framed on the page with a Roman numeral, a Latin caption and an engraver's credit. A designer could take from them the restrained contour line, the classical drapery folds and the isolated figure centred on a plain plinth.
