A 1690 Roman catalogue of antiquities by Michel Ange de La Chausse, with plates engraved by Nicolò Billy, Ludovico Gimignani and Carlo Maratti, printed in Rome for scholars and collectors of classical art. Its pictures are small engraved plates, each framed with a Latin title and a credit line, showing carved gems and cameos of gods, heroes and figures in roundels or ovals with plain backgrounds; a designer could borrow their compact layout of title, medallion and caption, and their clean line-based figure drawing.
