Delle antichità di Ercolano
Delle antichità di Ercolano is a 1757 Neapolitan publication printed at the Regia stamperia in Naples, produced by Ottavio Antonio Baiardi and Pasquale Carcani to record finds from the ancient city of Herculaneum for scholars and collectors. Its engraved plates show Roman wall paintings of mythological scenes, figures in classical dress, and decorative friezes, rendered in fine line with clean outlines and careful shading that offer designers a model for classical figure composition and ornamental border design.
