L' Antiquité Expliquée Et Représentée En Figures: Le Culte des Grecs & des Romains
Bernard de Montfaucon's 1719 French antiquarian study of Greek and Roman religious worship, written for educated readers and collectors of antiquities, issued in Paris and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its copperplate engravings show sacrificial scenes, priests, statues, temples and carved reliefs, drawn from ancient coins, gems and sculpture, with dense labelled plates a designer could use for classical motifs, ornament and costume.
