« The 20 large plates finished last year by Richter & Co., of Naples, and issued by Cavalier Pasqualé<br />

d’Amelio, with Italian and French comments in parallel columns, bring into prominence the<br />

architectonic side of Pompeiian wall painting. THE COLORS ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE ORIGINALS during<br />

the first days of their recovery from the darkness of 2000 years, before the hot Neapolitan sun has<br />

bleached some of the pigments and induced a delicacy of tone which was not meant by the painters.<br />

The text is written by an architect, Edoardo Cerillo, who is not only well read in the great literature<br />

that deals with this famous little buried town, but has ideas of his own, and bold ones. He calls<br />

attention to the value of these compositions, invented to give variety and change to plain walls, not so<br />

much for their artistic beauty as for the lessons they contain concerning the architecture of Rome,<br />

Greece and the Orient. HENCE THE PUBLICATION IS OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO THE ARCHITECT AND<br />

<strong>DE</strong>CORATIVE ARTIST; FOR TO THE ONE IT SHOWS THE VARIETY AND GRACE OF BUILDINGS NOW IMPOSSIBLE<br />

TO RECONSTRUCT FROM ANY OTHER SOURCES, AND TO THE OTHER THE POSSIBILITY OF INTRODUCING BOLD<br />

AND BEAUTIFUL EFFECTS ON BLANK WALLS BY THE USE OF COLORS. THE 20 PLATES IN CHROMO-<br />

LITHOGRAPHY, TOGETHER WITH AMPLE <strong>DE</strong>SCRIPTIVE AND CRITICAL TEXT, APPEARS IN LARGE, LOOSE SHEETS<br />

IN A PORTFOLIO, cost $75 a set, and form a limited edition. If the publisher receives encouragement here<br />

the American edition will be 100 copies”.<br />

(The New York Times, 20 juin 1887).<br />

Italian architect Edoardo Cerillo.<br />
