$a According to Brunet the text is by O. A. Baiardi; but according to the RIBA catalogue Volumes III-VII were written by Pasquale Carcani. The frontispiece portrait is signed as drawn by Camillus Paderni and engraved by Philippus Morghen. The added title-plate of Vol. I is signed as drawn by Vega, with engraving overseen by Puteus; the map, captioned 'Cratere Maritimo, O Parte Del Golfo Di Napoli', is signed, 'Eseguito dal capno. Dn. Carlo Weber, ridotto, e rettificato da Dn. Giose. Liberati, sotto la direzzione del Colonno. Ingege. Militare Dn. Roco. Gioacho. de Alcubierre. Secondo le misure itinerarie, e le osservazioni di Monsigre. Ottavio Antonio Bayardi ... Inciso da P. Gaultier. 1754'. Signatures on the remaining plates, headpieces and tailpieces include those of draughtsmen Francesco de La Vega, Camillo Paderni, Niccolo Vanni, Giovanni Elia Morghen, Giovanni Casanova, V. Campana and L. Vanvitelli, and those of engravers Filippo Morghen, N. Vanni, Rocco Pozzi, Niccolo Billy, P. Gaultier, Giuseppe Alloja, Pietro Campana, F. Campana, Francesco Cepparoli, Carlo Nolli, Niccolo Orazi, Carlo Orazi, Michele Sorello, Filippo de Grado, Nicola Fiorillo, Carmine Pignatori, Marcantonio Giacomino, L. Boilly, Aniello Cataneo, Francesco Giomignani, G. Furlanetti, Secondo De Angelis, Vin. Campana, Ferd. Strina, Fran. Sesone and Isidoro Frezza. Each volume is dedicated to King Charles by the Accademici Ercolanesi (in Volume I this appears as 'Accademici' simply). |

$a These five volumes - published in 1757, 1760, 1762, 1765 and 1779 - are part of an eight-volume series describing the antiquities of Herculaneum. (The first volume has an added title-plate reading 'Le Antichità Di Ercolano Esposte'; while the 5fth - 8th volumes have half-titles reading, 'Delle Antichità Di Ercolano Tomo Quinto (-Ottavo)'). The notes give brief indications of find-spots (Resina, Portici, Civita (Pompei) and Gragnano) and find-dates, and helpful explanations of each piece of wall-painting, incorporating quotations from Latin and ancient Greek sources and bibliographic references; most notes also refer to the relevant entry in Baiardi's Catalogo Degli Antichi Monumenti (1754). The plates give a comprehensive account of Roman wall-painting of the first century, and had a great impact on contemporary Neoclassical designers. All five volumes carry the same frontispiece portrait of King Charles - that in the first volume captioned as of the King of the Two Sicilies, the rest as of the King of Spain (Charles became King of Spain in 1759). |

| 561 | # | # | $a 'If you should think it proper to mention to the King of Naples the establishment of a Royal Academy he would probably make a present of the Antiquities of Herculaneum.' (Letter from Sir Joshua Reynolds to Sir William Hamilton, 28 March 1769). Since the volumes in this series were distributed as gifts rather than through the book trade it is likely that the Academy's set was received as a result of Reynolds's suggestion. The absence of any record of how or when the Academy acquired its copy may be an indication that the Antichità di Ercolano was among the first books to arrive in its Library (as was almost certainly the case with at least half a dozen unacknowledged duplicates from the George III's library). It was certainly present by 1 September 1801, when Flaxman recommended that vols. 7 & 8 should be obtained to complete the Academy's set (see RA Council Minutes III, 109); in 1801-2 vol. 8 was added to the set, possibly by purchase from the Holborn bookseller/publisher Josiah Taylor; vol. 7 however was apparently never acquired. |
| 562 | # | # | $a Imperfect: wanting vol. 7 of the series (i.e. the fifth volume of the Pitture, 1779) and all half-titles. In Volume I the frontispiece portrait captioned as of Charles, King of the Two Sicilies, has been replaced by that used in Volumes II-V, captioned as of Charles, King of Spain. |
