Abbildungen der Gemälde und Alterthümer : welche seit 1738, sowohl in der verschütteten Stadt Herkulanum, als auch in den umliegenden Gegenden an das Licht gebracht worden
An 1793 Augsburg publication by engraver Georg Christoph Kilian, issued by the Bürglen bookshop, that records paintings and antiquities unearthed at Herculaneum and the surrounding region from 1738 onward, aimed at scholars and collectors of classical art. The plates are faint pencil-like outline drawings of figures, draped forms and landscape fragments, showing how Roman wall painting was reduced to linear compositions, a useful reference for classical motifs, line-based figure studies and antique ornament.
