Double page landscape format engraving in black and white, depicting a view of the burial chamber of the freedmen and slaves of the family of Augustus, with features lettered and a key in Italian below. The entrance, marked 'A', can be seen at the top left of the engraving, and a staircase leads down into the tomb. Sepulchral niches are arranged in rows along the walls from floor to ceiling, and on the left a wide ledge runs around the middle of the wall, allowing access to the higher niches. Men in eighteenth century dress are exploring the site and several appear to be removing objects from sarcophagi.
