Montfaucon, Bernard de, 1655-1741 · 1757 · A Paris : Chez Giffart, [etc.] · 22 pictures

Supplément au livre de l'antiquitée expliquée is a 1757 Paris supplement by the scholar Bernard de Montfaucon, issued for students and collectors of classical antiquity. Its plates are engraved pages of statues, relief scenes and medallions of gods such as Jupiter, Diana and Fortuna, set in ruled frames with French captions. A designer could draw on their tidy grid of roundels and the crisp, classical figure poses.
