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 from 1752 for collectors, scholars and artists of the French academic milieu. Engraved plates record bronze statuettes, draped figures, masks, heads, lamps and architectural fragments in outline with fine hatched shading, numbered in Roman numerals and set loose on blank grounds, ready for cutting out as ornament stock or figure references.
