Bevardi Oil Lamps


RARE, HAND-COLOURED ANCIENT OIL LAMP ENGRAVING

These 222 year old prints are from Ottavio Antonio Bavardi's "LE LUCERNE ED I CANDELABRI D'ERCOANO E CONTORNI" published by Nella Regia Stamperia (The Royal Printer) in Naples in 1792.

This publication features oil lamps  and candlesticks discovered in the escavations of the ancient extinct cities of Herculaneum and Pompei. Oil lamps were significant in the major religions.
