Heinr. Matth. Aug. Cramers ... Nachrichten zur Geschichte der Herculanischen Entdeckungen
Heinrich Matthias August Cramer's 1773 German study of the Herculaneum excavations, printed in Germany for scholars of classical archaeology and architecture, from the Heidelberg University Library copy. The first picture is a marbled endpaper in pink, ochre and grey swirls, and the second is a decorative woodcut headpiece with a large initial letter beside a bird perched in a fruiting tree and an ornate pedestal, a model for historical vignettes, border ornament and display lettering.
