Les ruines de Palmyre, autrement dite Tedmor au désert
A French edition of Robert Wood's 1753 study of the ruins of Palmyra, issued in Paris in 1819 by Constantin, Didot and Bance for readers of classical architecture and antiquarian travel. Its pictures are measured engraved plates of columns, cornices, capitals, coffered ceilings and wall elevations, drawn flat and fully labelled so a designer can study proportion, ornament and the construction of classical orders.
