Saint-Pierre de Rome : ouvrage illustré de plus de 130 gravures sur bois, entièrement inédites
Saint-Pierre de Rome is an 1879 illustrated guide to St Peter's Basilica in Rome, written by Charles de Lorbac and published by Bocca Frères for readers interested in the church's architecture. Its wood engravings show papal tomb monuments in marble, with seated pontiffs, allegorical female figures, and kneeling figures set within arched niches and framed by columns, giving designers a clear model for classical sculptural compositions and ornamental stonework.
