Le pitture antiche d'Ercolano e contorni
Le pitture antiche d'Ercolano e contorni is a 1757 Italian book of engraved plates after ancient wall paintings found at Herculaneum and nearby sites, issued for antiquarians and collectors of classical art. The pictures are sepia-toned engravings of architectural vignettes, with small tombs, temple-like buildings, colonnades and figures in landscape, framed by ruled borders, useful to a designer for classical Roman decorative panel layouts and architectural motifs.
