Explication de plusieurs antiquités, recueillies par Paul Petau ... : représentées en plus de 500 figures sur 47 planches in-quarto, parfaitement bien gravées
An 1757 Amsterdam publication issued by bookseller Jean Neaulme, reproducing the antiquarian collection of Paul Petau, a French scholar, for learned readers interested in ancient objects. The pictures are finely engraved plates of coins with their reverses and ancient lamps and jugs, drawn as neat rows of small round medallions and outlined vessels with clear contour lines that a designer could use as tidy classical ornament and borders.
