Les Plus Belles Murailles de Pompeii
Les Plus Belles Murailles de Pompeii is a chromolithographed plate book of Roman wall decoration by Victor Steeger, published in Turin by H. Loescher in 1877 for scholars and artists studying Pompeian painting. Its plates show full wall elevations in flat colour, with red, black, green and yellow fields framed by thin gilt borders, panels, columns and small figures. A designer could draw on these for classical wall schemes, panel layouts and restrained ornament built from thin rules and repeated motifs.
