EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Roman architectural ornament and sculpture, captured in 1898 by P. Burkhardt. The image features various intricate details that highlight the grandeur and artistry of ancient Roman design. Figures 1 to 4 exhibit exquisite examples of Roman craftsmanship, including a Corinthian capital from the Pantheon at Rome, a candelabrum head from the Vatican Museum, a composite capital from a temple of Juno at Rome, and a fragment of a frieze discovered in the Villa of Hadrian at Tivoli. Figs 5 to 7 present delicate rosettes sourced from the Vatican Museum, while Fig 6 offers an intriguing glimpse into another fragmentary frieze found in Rome. Figs 8 and 11 showcase bases of columns dating back to the later Roman period, while Figs 9 and 10 display members of cornices salvaged from the ruins of Imperial palaces on Palatine Hill. The diversity within this assortment is striking; each piece exhibits meticulous attention to detail. Notably, many leaves are depicted with such precision that their natural origins become nearly unrecognizable. Acanthus leaves dominate as one of the most frequently employed motifs in Roman ornamentation; however, oak-leaves, laurel branches, pineapples, vine-leaves palm fronds ivy tendrils can also be observed. This remarkable plate originates from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated by H. Dolmetsch from German into English in London during B. T Batford's publishing era in 1898. It serves as both an educational resource for enthusiasts and scholars alike who seek insight into ancient Roman architecture's rich aesthetic legacy
