These prints were published in bundled two volumes starting in 1777., mountains - HH - ideal landscapes, landscape with bridge, viaduct or aqueduct - II - ideal landscapes, city-view, and landscape with man-made constructions - II - ideal landscapes, places and objects of worship, non-Christian religions, Euboea, Delphi, Parnassus, A sepia-toned landscape drawing shows a rocky hill topped by a circular temple with columns and surrounding ruins, a smaller temple-like structure set into the cliffside, and a fortified town with towers and arched gates at the hill's base; a broad plain and a river with an arched stone bridge stretch across the middle ground. In the foreground a group of people accompany pack animals and a dog, some figures carrying goods on their heads and others leading or riding animals, while one figure plays a wind instrument. To the right a large, leafy tree rises above the scene with textured bark and dense foliage; clouds and a few birds appear in the sky above the hill. The drawing features fine pen lines and wash shading that define rock faces, architectural details, vegetation, and the figures.
