A 1707 Roman catalogue of classical antiquities by Michel Ange de La Chausse, a Parisian scholar, published in Rome for antiquarians and collectors, illustrating gems, idols, ritual objects and lamps. The pictures are small etched plates of standing figures set in framed panels or ovals, with faint Latin captions above; a designer could take from them the restrained, sepia classical figure poses and oval or rectangular plate framing typical of early antiquarian engraving.
