Monumens de sculpture anciens et modernes
Monumens de sculpture anciens et modernes is a Paris album of engraved plates published in 1812 by Vauthier, Lacour and Charles Bance, made for artists and collectors of neoclassical sculpture. Its pages reproduce relief carvings and statues drawn in outline, many showing Roman and Athenian figures with Napoleonic monuments. A designer can take from them the clean contour line, the draped robes falling in stacked parallel folds, and the frieze-like arrangement of standing figures.
