Museum Schoepflini, tomus prior : lapides, marmora, vasa
Museum Schoepflini, volume one, is an 1773 Strasbourg catalogue of stone inscriptions, marble sculpture and vases, compiled by Jeremias Jacob Oberlin and Johann Martin Weis as a record of the antiquarian collection of Johann Daniel Schoepflin. The plates are engraved tables of numbered objects, with a few ornamental cartouches, and show a designer clean labelled arrangements of Greek-style vessels, lamps, jewellery and weapon heads laid out in grids, a model for orderly specimen layouts.
