Fortunio Liceti's 1653 Latin treatise on ancient oil lamps, published in Padua for scholars and antiquarians, is illustrated with engraved views of more than a hundred lamps. The pictures show lamps from several angles, with reservoirs, nozzles and relief decoration such as faces, shells and animal forms, drawn in fine crosshatched line that a designer could adapt for vintage ornament, lamp-shaped motifs or antique-style line art.
