L'antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures ...
Montfaucon's 1719 Paris archaeological survey L'antiquité expliquée, published by Florentin Delaulne for scholars and collectors of classical antiquity, presents its material through engraved plates. The pictures show funerary urns, sepulchral altars, tomb monuments and carved ornament, drawn as precise line engravings with measured plans and elevations that a designer could use for classical motifs, lettering and architectural detailing.
