Plate 84. The Tribune of the Antique Hall of the Louvre
This Tribune ornaments the main entrance of the old Antique Hall, and has four supports on the front. The statues here appear as if they grow out of the column shafts, since one sees the capital above and the base of the column below. The figures were without arms, presumably because the antique statues were found without them. The entablature is complete with frieze, unlike the former example, and ornamented after the Roman manner. One of the figures is represented complete on Plate 1.
Public-domain text (1910), transcribed from the archive.org OCR of the Architectural Reprint edition and cleaned for reading: line-end hyphens rejoined, running heads, page numbers and the German and French captions engraved on the plates removed, and obvious misreadings corrected. Fractions the scan does not show legibly are marked […]; words lost at a page edge are restored in [brackets]. The nomenclature lists of Plates 23, 24, 29, 49, 75 and 82 are set as running text. Mauch’s plates (from his German edition of 1845) are not reproduced; the live figures are this book’s own.
