No titles. Four of the famous superbly hand-colored copper etchings of the maenads,

engraved after the wall frescoes in “Cicero's Villa" in Pompei.

They are copper etchings by Philippo Morghen after the drawings by Camillo Paderni.

Published in “Le Antichità di Ercolano", Naples, 1760, a fabulous work depicting the excavations of Herculaneum and Pompei. The etchings themselves bear no title. But the accompanying text names the subject matter as the discoverers saw the frescoes at the time of excavation. They also gave the frescoes the name of the assumed villa they were found in. In this case “Cicero's Villa".

Aquatints engraved by Paul Fumagalli from 1821-1825

These prints with their velvety aquatint appearance were made to delight our hearts. They portrait, like no others, the elegance of architecture and the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of the ancient city - until the nearby Vesuvius put an end to it all in a devestating rain of volcanic ashes.

Page size: Ca. 32 x 48 cm (12.6 x 18.9 "). Image sizes given below.

Some prints are colored in very exquisite modern hand coloring.

Images are very clean. Minimal scattered foxing in margins and edges.
Prints are in Very Good Condition unless otherwise noted.
