Published in issues of six folio plates, it features architectural details and fragments, as well as bowls, tripods, vases, altars, candelabras and furniture. As this work was specially designed for educational purposes, each figure is numbered, and notes indicate the places from which the fragments were taken, as well as the monuments to which they belonged. The prospectus for this work has survived in the British Library: it emphasizes that the plates in the book are on the same scale as those by Desgodetz, but show new details from different sources, including the Vatican Museum.
