Feet
Gli ornati delle pareti was a suite of 109 prints
documenting paintings and mosaics from Pompeii. These prints were originally published
in three bound volumes from 1796 to 1808; subsequent printings up to 1838 produced
varying editions. During the course of his research on these prints, Vander Poel both
acquired a volume of the prints and commissioned photographs from copies of Gli ornati held in several libraries.

Although labeled as Volume I of the original edition, this volume actually holds an
assembled group of prints. The title page for Volume I is used here, but the prints
are a mixture of those found in both Volumes I and II of the original edition, as
well as later reprints. Vander Poel has annotated the prints in this volume, adding
bibliographic information.
