Descrizione di una casa pompejana : con capitelli figurati all'ingresso disotterrata negli anni 1831, 1832, e 1833 : la terza alle spalle del tempietto della Fortuna Augusta : letta all'Accademia ercolanese
An 1837 Neapolitan account by Francesco Maria Avellino of a Pompeian house excavated 1831-1833, printed by Tramater for the Accademia Ercolanese. The plates are measured line engravings of figured capitals, a facade elevation, friezes, a ceiling rosette, and carved wall panels with masks. A designer could draw on their crisp hatching and classical ornament, such as acanthus scrolls, egg-and-dart borders and radiating rosettes, for decorative motifs.
