Plate 15 showcases a diverse range of captivating engravings from various time periods and cultures. The first engraving, titled "How the Indians Treated the Corpses of their Enemy, " takes us back to Frankfurt in 1591. Theodore de Bry's skilled artistry brings to life an intriguing scene depicting the Indian customs surrounding fallen foes. Moving forward in time, we encounter another fascinating piece called "Public Punishments in the Place Ste. Anne. " Created by Deroi and published around 1835, this lithograph provides a glimpse into public punishments during that era. The later coloration adds depth and vibrancy to this thought-provoking image. Our journey continues with Plate 15 from Paul Marie Letarouilly's masterpiece on St Peter's Basilica. This volume, published in 1882, presents architectural plans and details of one of Rome's most iconic structures. From side elevations to interior decorations on dome pendentives, Letarouilly's engravings offer an immersive exploration of St Peter's Basilica. Intriguingly titled "Ms. 2597 Heart, Desire and Generosity, " our next plate transports us into an evening filled with mystery and allure. Although shrouded in ambiguity, this artwork promises a captivating narrative waiting to be discovered.
