Memorie degli antichi incisori is a 1784 Florentine book by Domenico Agostino Bracci, printed by G. Cambiagi, cataloguing ancient gem and cameo engravers and the signatures they cut into their stones for scholars and collectors of antiquities. Its plates are engraved framed ovals showing a classical bust, a standing statue, or a profile head, each set above a boxed Latin inscription, offering a designer a restrained neoclassical template for labelled medallion frames and museum-catalogue plates.
