The present volume formed part of the library at Northwick Park, Gloucestershire, and Thirlestaine House in Cheltenham. Blackmer 303: "This work is remarkable for its range and for the number of pieces which have been illustrated. Even more remarkable is the fact that most of the objects have been engraved after the originals and have not been taken from other illustrations. Many of the objects came from Caylus's own collection and are now in the Cabinet des Medailles of the Bibliothèque Nationale. Volume VII, the supplement, was published posthumously and was edited by Bombarde from Caylus's manuscripts; it also contains a memoir of the author. Caylus travelled extensively in Italy and continued on to the Levant in the suite of the French ambassador to the Porte, c. 1715-20, but certainly well before 1731 when he was elected to the Academie Royale de Peinture. He was one of the most interesting figures of his time, an archaeologist, connoisseur, litterateur and a competent engraver."
