Byres, Hypogaei or the Sepulchral Caverns of Tarquinia
No publication-date appears on the title page, but the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states that the book was published in 1842 (although the title-page names the bookseller T. Cadell, who died in 1836). It was probably in the 1760s that Byres visited the tombs. The first and last plates show views of the locations of the tombs. The rest show plans and sections of the tombs, interior views (some showing visitors sketching) and details of wall-paintings, sarcophagi, bas-reliefs and carved mirrors.
