Vetus Latium profanum: De Albanis et Aricinis
Vetus Latium profanum, a 1736 antiquarian study of ancient Roman sites by Giuseppe Rocco Volpi, held by Heidelberg University Library, with engraved plates of classical reliefs, statues and sculptural groups for scholars of antiquity. The plates are rotated and printed in fine black line engraving, with unshaded figures and architectural frames that a designer could use for classical figure studies, dynamic poses and Roman relief composition.
