Musée Royal Bourbon : guide pour la galerie des peintures anciennes
A guide published in Naples in 1830 by Andrea de Jorio for the Real Museo Borbonico, describing its gallery of ancient paintings for visitors and scholars. The plates are engraved reproductions of Pompeian and Herculaneum wall paintings, showing reclining draped figures, satyr-like creatures and fragments of columns set against plain or black grounds, offering a designer a clear view of classical figure poses, drapery folds and neoclassical ornament.
