Recueil d'antiquités romaines et gauloises, trouvées dans la Flandre proprement dite, avec désignation des lieux où elles ont été découvertes

Bast, Martin-Jean de, 1753-1825 · 1808 · Gand : A.B. Stéven, imprimeur · 12 pictures

A numbered plate from a 1808 Ghent collection of Roman and Gallic antiquities found in Flanders, compiled by Martin-Jean de Bast for antiquarian readers and collectors. The engraved plates show coins with profile portraits and reverse designs, alongside ceramic jars, a lamp, a cameo, and a small floor plan, drawn in fine black line on cream paper. A designer could take the precise, evenly hatched line work and the clean medallion and roundel arrangements as a model for period-style labels and emblems.
