Signorvm vetervm icones
Signorvm vetervm icones is a 1731 Amsterdam print collection of ancient sculpture, reissued from engravings first made by Jan de Bisschop (1628-1671), and it reproduces classical statues as single figures on bare pages. Its plates are clean, outlined etchings with fine hatching that show drapery, musculature and plinths in simple, legible detail, useful to a designer studying classical figure poses, drapery folds and how a statue is framed against blank paper.
