A multi-volume antiquarian catalogue of Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman objects assembled by the comte de Caylus and issued in Paris from 1752 onward for collectors and scholars. Line-engraved plates record vases, gems, coins, sphinxes, helmeted heads, draped figures and small bronzes, often numbered, scale-barred and set on plain grounds, giving clean outline motifs and isolated artefact silhouettes.
