Joh. Georgii Wachteri Archaeologia Nummaria: Continens Praecognita Nobilissimae Artis, Quae Nummos Antiqvos Interpretatur

Wachter, Johann Georg, Mentzel, Johann Georg [Ill.] · 1740 · 4 pictures

Johann Georg Wachter's 1740 numismatic treatise on the interpretation of ancient coins, printed in Latin in Germany and illustrated by Johann Georg Mentzel for scholars and collectors. Its pictures are small baroque headpieces and tailpieces built from scrollwork, laurel, and framed medallions with classical profile heads, a vocabulary a designer could borrow for ornamental cartouches and vignettes.
