Important architectural elements and designs from ancient Greek, Etruscan, and Roman architecutre. They are part of a large series of prints based on renderings by advanced students at the School of Beaux Arts, overseen by Hector\u00a0 d\u2019Espouy, who was their professor. Beaux Arts training included the study of antiquity through meticulous drawings from artifacts and plaster casts. D\u2019Espouy\u2019s collection brought together drawings of the Acropolis, Parthenon, Pompeii, Roman temples, the Pantheon, the Coliseum and other sites, for which he provided captions. These meticulous studies are still of interest to contemporary historians and as source material for architects and designers. A large set of D’Espouy architectural prints, purchased from George Glazer Gallery by renowned interior designer Alexa Hampton and displayed in her New York apartment, were shown in\u00a0Architectural Digest<\/strong>.
