Parete piu corta, con nicchia del Laconico, o sia stufa’. Engraving by Francesco Martano after a drawing by Giuseppe Chiantarelli. The complete edition of this work consisted of more than 100 records and was a display of the murals and floor mosaics as they were uncovered during excavations at Pompeii in the second half of the 18th century. Works o the edition started in 1796.
