Le più belle ruine di Pompei : descritte misurate, e disegnate
An 1845 Neapolitan survey of Pompeii's ruined buildings, measured and drawn by Francesco de Cesare for readers interested in ancient architecture. The plates show architectural details such as Ionic and Corinthian capitals, column shafts, and cornice mouldings, drawn in fine line that a designer could adapt for classical ornament, column motifs, and decorative borders.
