P BURKHARDT. Roman architectural ornament and sculpture, (1898). 'Fig 1: Corinthian capital from the Pantheon at Rome. Fig 2: Head of a candelabrum from the Vatican Museum. Fig 3: Composite capital from a temple of Juno at Rome. Fig 4: Fragment of a frieze, found in the Villa of Hadrian at Tivoli, now in the Lateran Museum at Rome. Figs 5 and 7: Rosettes from the Vatican Museum. Fig 6: Fragment of a frieze from Rome. Figs 8 and 11: Bases of columns from the later Roman period. Figs 9 and 10: Members of cornices from the ruins of the Imperial palaces on the Palatine...In Roman ornament the different forms of leaves often are idealised in such a rigid manner, that their natural origin is hardly to be recognized. Most frequently employed was the acanthus-leaf...Besides this we find oak-leaves, laurel, pine apples, vine-leaves, palm, ivy, aloe, convolvulus, cornear, poppy etc'. Plate 7 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898].
