The most beautiful walls in Pompeii, reproduced in chromolithography... / with explanatory notes by E. Presuhn
A chromolithographed portfolio of Pompeian wall paintings, with explanatory notes by E. Presuhn, issued in Turin in 1877 and compiled by Victor Steeger for scholars, architects and decorators interested in ancient Roman interiors. The plates show full wall elevations with red, black and yellow panels, slender candelabra columns, framed mythological vignettes and small animal and bird motifs, offering a designer a ready repertoire of classical ornamental systems: panel division, column dividers, and dado strips.
