Quatremère de Quincy, M. (Antoine-Chrysostome), 1755-1849 · 1829 · Paris : Jules Renouard, libraire, rue de Tournon, no. 6 · 6 pictures

A Paris publication of 1829 by the antiquarian Antoine-Chrysostome Quatremère de Quincy, reconstructing lost Greek and Etruscan monuments from ancient writers' descriptions, aimed at scholars and students of antiquity. Its engraved plates show the statue of Athena Parthenos with its shield and internal framing, a pediment sculpture, and a temple ground plan, drawn in fine plain line with small figure studies in the margins that a designer could borrow for classical ornament, diagrammatic architecture, or antique sculpture motifs.
