Pompeiana is an 1824 London topographical work by William Gell and John Peter Gandy, published by Rodwell and Martin, recording the architecture of Pompeii for students of classical antiquity and architects. The engraved plates are landscape-format views of excavated streets, arches, and buildings, rendered in fine line with strong cast shadows that a designer could borrow for dramatic architectural lighting and tonal hatching.
