The book was by Gaston Vorberg and was published in 1921.[1]

The book was a portfolio that included 113 plates. Each plate was an image of an object. Each object had been found in a museum or private collection. These objects were from ancient Rome and ancient Greece.[1] Some of the objects were Etruscan.[1]
