Monumenti antichi inediti
Johann Joachim Winckelmann's catalogue of previously unpublished ancient reliefs, gems and vases, published at his own expense in Rome in 1767 for antiquarians and collectors. Outline engravings render mythological scenes as figure groups on blank grounds, with numbered plates, oval gem settings and vase profiles above frieze bands \u2014 usable as clean classical figure stock and ornament silhouettes.
