Description: Beautiful architectural illustration from the French-language compendium of Bonaventura van Overbeke with Roman buildings of antiquity. The large engraving work first appeared in Latin in 1708 and was republished in a French translation in 1709. The etchings were all published posthumously by the artist's cousin Michiel van Overbeke. They are characterised by a high level of detail in their reproduction. Staffage figures are often added to the architectural views to illustrate the proportions of the ancient monuments.
