Archeology, Ancient World, Herculaneum, wall paintings, frescos

Copper etching from “Raccolta di Pitture d’Ercolano”, a collection of prints which was published between the years 1752 – 1762. A very attractive series, decorative and impressive! The prints were made from frescos and artefacts
excavated in Herculaneum.

Below most images are the words “Palm Romano” and “Palm Napolitano” with a measurement shown for each size of the palm of the hand. This was an antique Italian measurement system.

Very minor signs of age in wide margins..
