A general collection of Roman wall paintings, bronzes and mosaics from Herculaneum and Pompeii, engraved in outline on copper by Louis Barré and H. Roux and published in Paris by Firmin Didot in 1861 for classical art readers and students. The plates are fine line engravings of landscapes, architectural settings and figures, including small shrines, stepped pedestals and tiny figures in ruined urban scenes, which a designer could use as sparse, linear references for ancient or classical motifs.
