Alterthümer von Ionien
Alterthümer von Ionien is an 1829 German translation by Karl Wagner of the Society of Dilettanti's survey of ancient remains in Ionia, Asia Minor, issued for archaeologists and students of classical architecture. Its pictures are measured architectural plates of capitals, cornices, moldings and column bases, drawn in fine line with grey shading, plus one landscape view of a ruined colonnade set among stones and vegetation. A designer could take from them the precise profiles and ornament of classical Ionic and Doric detail, including egg-and-dart, scroll and acanthus patterns.
