A collection of 15 prints numbered 1 to 15, etched in outline style by Franz and Johannes Riepenhausen after Pausanias's descriptions of the paintings by Polygnotos in the Lesche at Delphi. Scarce, with library holdings. First Edition. This is an unique home made collection and has some unusual features. The plates are bound in a soft card cover. A hand written label to the front cover states in French "Tableau Perdu, de Polygnote" and further information about the work. To the inside cover is a manuscript leaf tipped in, with notes in French on each of the plates. Engraved title page, a plate with all 15 engraved plates shown in order in miniature (plate 1). (Unfortunately numbered 1-15 in early red ink). The plates have been bound back to front, and each has 2 numbers - the printed number (here 15 down to 1) and a manuscript number in black (here 1-15). Slight weakness to the top edge of the binding and very slight darkening to the pages. 16 pages. 33 x 49 cm See British Museum 1875,0814.677-692
