Etchings, representing the best examples of ancient ornamental architecture : drawn from the originals in Rome, and other parts of Italy, during the years 1794, 1795 and 1796. by Charles Heathcote Tatham, architect facsimile reproduction by photo-lithography
Etchings by Charles Heathcote Tatham, an English architect, reproduced in New York in 1890 by photo-lithography, record ancient Roman ornamental architecture he drew from originals in Rome and elsewhere in Italy in 1794 to 1796, aimed at architects and designers. The plates show sculpted sarcophagus-like altars with winged griffins flanking urns, garland-draped friezes with vases and rosettes, a candelabra-style pilaster, and a table leg with lion's paw feet and acanthus scrolls, offering designers classical motifs for borders, panels, and furniture.
