A volume of the comte de Caylus's illustrated catalogue of Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman antiquities, engraved and published in Paris from 1756 for antiquaries and collectors of small bronzes, gems and terracottas. Each plate groups numbered objects — standing bronze figurines, portrait heads, handled mirrors, lamp and vessel handles ending in animal heads and grotesque masks — drawn in fine outline and hatching against bare paper, usable as isolated cut-out motifs.
