Histoire de l'art chez les anciens
Histoire de l'art chez les anciens is a 1801 Paris edition of Johann Joachim Winckelmann's history of ancient art, published by Etienne Gide for readers of classical antiquity. Its engravings are monochrome line plates of draped figures in oval frames, copied from ancient reliefs and vases, with clean contour hatching a designer could adapt for classical ornament, borders, or neoclassical motifs.
