Li corntorni delle pitture antiche d'Ercolano : con le spiegazioni
Published in Augsburg in 1777 by Georg Christoph Kilian, this is a plate book of outline engravings after wall paintings and bronzes unearthed at Herculaneum, aimed at scholars and artists of the period. The plates are clean, sparse line drawings of figures, ornamental candelabra, garlands and small architectural panels, showing how antique decorative schemes were built up and can be borrowed for classical motifs, border frames and ornament systems.
