Les Restes De L'Ancienne Rome
Les Restes De L'Ancienne Rome is an 1763 engraved archaeological volume of ancient Roman ruins, compiled by Bonaventura van Overbeke and edited by Michel van Overbeke, held by Heidelberg University Library. The plates are etched views of arches, aqueducts, gates and towers drawn for antiquarians and architects. A designer might draw on their crisp hatched line work, stone textures and classical arcade rhythms for historical or architectural graphics.
