A set of eight framed steel engravings after Thorvaldsen's monumental marble frieze, depicting the "Entrance of Alexander the Great into Babylon". Completed in 1812, this subject was chosen by the marble sculptor to decorate the Palazzo Quirinale in Rome, before a visit from Napoleon. The emperor was so taken with the masterpiece, that he commissioned a replica for the Louvre in Paris, over thirty three metres in length. The sculptor created another version for the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen also.

This set of eight engravings faithfully reproduces the quality of this great work of sculpture, which includes a couple of single figures, later conceived by Thorvaldsen, to increase the scale of the subject for the later commissions. Samuel Amsler (1791-1848) after drawings by Johann Friedrich Overbeck (1789-1869) Published by J.H. Felsing, Darmstadt,1835.
