Recueil d'antiquités égyptiennes, étrusques, greques et romaines
An antiquarian catalogue of Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman objects compiled by the comte de Caylus and issued in Paris by Desaint & Saillant from 1752 for collectors, artists and scholars of ancient art. Numbered engraved plates group vases, gems, coins, helmets and figure friezes against blank or hatched grounds, giving clean outline silhouettes, palmette and meander ornament, and profile heads that lift easily as spot art.
