$a The text is given first in English, then in French - the French part having its own title page. The French title is, 'Description Des Antiquites Romaines Decouvertes A Woodchester, Dans le Comte De Gloucester'. Most plates carry dates, ranging from 1794 to 1797. Samuel Lysons published several antiquarian works; and in 1818 became honorary Antiquary of the Royal Academy. This description of the 2nd-century Roman villa at Woodchester in Gloucestershire remains the principal account of the site. Lysons unearthed several fragments of sculpture, now in the British Museum, and the celebrated 'Orpheus Pavement', which remains in situ and is uncovered from time to time. The text is largely a commentary on the plates. The forty aquatint plates fall into the following groups: I. Map of Woodchester; II-VI. Views & plans of Woodchester; VII-XXI. Mosaic pavements; XXII-XXVII. Plans, sections & views of hypocausts &c.; XXVIII-XXXI. Walls, columns, marbles, stucco; XXXII-XXXV. Pottery & utensils; XXXVI-XL. Sculpture. There are also a head-piece (a view of Woodchester) and tailpiece (reverses of medals). All plates are coloured by hand, except numbers 29 and 33-40. |
