L'antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures ...
An 1719 Paris folio by the French antiquarian Bernard de Montfaucon, issued by the publisher Florentin Delaulne, presenting ancient Greek and Roman antiquities and mythology to scholars and collectors. Its engraved plates show coins, medallions, statues and carved reliefs, arranged in framed pages with captions, a format a designer could use for classical motifs and ornamental roundels.
