Rochette, Raoul-, 1789-1854 · 1853 · Paris, J. Lecoffre · 8 pictures

An 1853 Paris catalogue by Raoul Rochette, published by J. Lecoffre, describing the painted and sculpted monuments of early Christian Rome's catacombs for scholars and antiquarians. The plates are line engravings of ceiling vaults, wall paintings and sarcophagus reliefs, showing winged figures, draped processions, columns and ornamental arches in the classical manner that a designer could study for linear decorative motifs.
