Orsini, Fulvio [Hrsg.] · 1570 · 46 pictures

Imagines et Elogia Virorvm Illvstrivm is a 1570 archaeological picture book edited by Fulvio Orsini, collecting engraved portraits of famous Greek and Roman men copied from ancient stone busts, herms and coins. Its plates show each figure as a bust, statue or herm with an inscribed plinth naming the subject and his city. A designer could draw on the sober, measured layout of framed portraits set beside inscribed stone tablets and coin medallions.
