Architecture

The Ruins of Palmyra and Baalbek

Volumes I-II

Edited by Robert Wood First published in the 1750s, The Ruins of Palmyra and The Ruins of Baalbek contain over 100 engravings of the classical architecture of these two ancient cities. The volumes were unique in providing systematic discussion of the sites' physical and human geography alongside two kinds of pictorial evidence: views of the ancient sites and detailed plans, with measurements, of architectural features. The volumes had great influence upon Neoclassical architecture in Britain, Europe and North America. This new edition features reproductions of all the engravings from the original publications and includes a new introduction by noted scholar, Benjamin Anderson (Cornell University).
