Les Restes De L'Ancienne Rome
Les Restes de l'Ancienne Rome is a 1763 architectural survey of Roman ruins, published in Paris by Bonaventura van Overbeke and edited by Michel van Overbeke for antiquarians and students of architecture. Its engraved plates show ruined arches, temple columns and gateways rendered in fine black line with soft cloud skies and small figures for scale, giving designers a clear model for measured classical elevations and picturesque ruin compositions.
