Geschichte der decorativen Wandmalerei in Pompeji
A German art-history book by August Mau, published in Berlin in 1882, on the decorative wall painting of Pompeii for scholars of ancient Roman art. Its four pictures are ground plans of Pompeian houses, drawn in outline with numbered rooms, peristyle courtyards, and lettered axes, showing how rooms were arranged around open colonnaded gardens. A designer could take from them the room sequences and courtyard layouts that structured Roman domestic interiors.
