Recherches sur les ruines d'Herculanum et sur les lumieres qui peuvent en résulter, relativement à l'état présent des sciences et des arts : avec un traité sur la fabrique des mosaïques
An antiquarian report on the excavations at Herculaneum, with an appended treatise on making mosaics, written by the naturalist Auguste-Denis Fougeroux de Bondaroy and printed in Paris by Desaint in 1770 for scholars and craftsmen of the period. The engraved plates group numbered tools, tesserae trays, balances, oil lamps and kiln plans and elevations beside squares of herringbone and speckled mosaic pattern, and the covers supply brown and orange marbled paper usable as texture or endpaper stock.
