= An 18th cent. reprint of the plates in reverse of the first edition of the Antichità die Ercolano esposte (orig. published in 9 vols. in Naples between 1755-1792). Blackmer 38 (on this ed.): "First German edition. The work is a reduced version of L'Antichità di Ercolano published simultaneously in German and Italian. (...) The work was intended as a popular edition of the Antichità, for the use of scholars and as a pattern book for artists (...)." Cf. Blackmer 37 (on the orig. ed.): "The illustrated volumes of antiquities published under direction of the Royal Herculaneum Society, founded in 1755, represent the first attempt at a systematic record of all the discoveries made during the excavations at Herculaneum carried out under the aegis of the King of the Two Sicilies, Charles III."; cf. Cicognara 2645. G.C. Kilian's edition of the Antichità was one of various editions that saw the light soon after first volumes of the original work, which were published in a small number of copies for the "happy few" only, were published. Kilian published his edition in Italian, because it was his opinion that the citizens of the country in which the treasures of Herculaneum originated had a right to know everything possible about their history. The text vol. that accompanies this edition also contains: C.G. VON MURR: Abbildungen der Gemälde und Alterthümer, in dem Königlich Neapolitanischen Museo zu Portici (...).
