Prodromo Delle Antichità d'Ercolano
Prodromo delle Antichità d'Ercolano is an 18th-century Italian antiquarian work by Ottavio Antonio Bayardi, published in 1752, that introduces the excavated antiquities of Herculaneum to scholars and collectors. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut-style ornaments, including a rococo cartouche, a scrolled frame with a female profile, and a heraldic shield with a motto, which show decorative vocabulary a designer could borrow for borders, emblems and monogram frames.
