A finely engr., large atlas with 200 pl. of mainly Greek, Etruscan and Roman art. Winckelmann (1717-1768) was a German art historian, archaeologist and pioneering Hellenist who first articulated the difference between Greek, Greco-Roman and Roman art. The "unpublished" pl. are coins, statues, cameos, etc. that have never been reproduced on pl. before, or were misrepresented or unexplained. No title issued as far as we know. The 12 vol. of text are not present.
