Lvdovici Demontiosii Gallvs Romae Hospes: ubi multa antiquorum monumenta explicantur, pars pristinae formae restituuntur ; Opus in quinque partes tributum
Gallus Romae Hospes is a 1585 archaeological guide to Rome by Louis de Montjosieu, a French antiquary, written for readers interested in ancient monuments and their original forms. Its engravings reconstruct Roman arches, obelisks and pyramids in cool hatched line, with a printer's emblem of keys and a crowned shield among the decorations, showing how antiquarian architecture was drawn for study and could inspire designers of classical forms and ornamental frames.
